UNSPSC 50456108: Frozen organic medania spinach

The variety of organic spinach known as organic medania spinach that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50456108 Frozen organic medania spinach is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional use—particularly school nutrition programs, senior services, and government food procurement. While the code nominally specifies frozen organic spinach, recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect broader food-service buying that includes shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, dairy, grains, and produce supporting school lunch programs, senior meal services, and departmental food operations. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, state purchasing offices, and school district boards of education. Gwinnett County has posted informal written quotes (IWQs) for shelf-stable food items supporting senior services; the State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and kitchen products; and Early County Board of Education posted line-by-line food bids for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The category reflects fragmented, decentralized procurement across multiple institutional buyers rather than consolidated statewide or regional contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items—including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables—closed October 19, 2026, with delivery required to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026 and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 line-by-line food bid covered approximately 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies for school meal programs across three schools, with a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; the district required $500,000 general liability insurance, HACCP compliance, E-Verify verification, and permitted piggybacking by other school districts on identical terms.
