UNSPSC 50586001: Non GMO america spinach

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO america spinach. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50586001 Non GMO america spinach is a Commodity code that does not correspond to the actual procurement activity in the recent state and local solicitations provided. The recent opportunities posted under this code span April 2026 through May 2026 and focus on broad school nutrition procurement — fresh produce supply contracts, child nutrition program deliveries, and institutional food service — rather than the spinach-specific commodity the code nominally describes. School districts, county boards of education, and state agencies are the primary issuing bodies, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida school systems seeking annual produce and food service supply contracts for July 2026 through June 2027 fiscal years.

The representative recent opportunities show a consistent institutional procurement pattern across multiple jurisdictions. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an RFQ on May 11, 2026 (due June 8) for line-by-line food and non-food items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, encompassing 300+ food items including vegetables, fruits, and specialty produce with domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain specifications, and low-sodium formulations. Northside Independent School District (Texas) posted RFP 2026-048 on April 14, 2026 (due May 7) for fresh produce delivery across 127 campuses in San Antonio with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance, temperature-controlled logistics, and Texas-grown "Harvest of the Month" prioritization. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) solicited proposals on April 13, 2026 (due March 11) for fresh fruit and vegetable distribution to 18 elementary schools under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with a cost-plus fixed-fee-per-case model and an estimated annual budget of $600,000. These contracts establish baseline institutional demand: weekly or twice-weekly deliveries to multiple school sites, HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, insurance requirements (typically $1 million general liability minimum), and firm pricing for 12-month terms with renewal options. The code's actual recent procurement activity does not isolate spinach or other individual produce SKUs but instead aggregates produce sourcing under broader fresh-produce and food-service contracts, making the Commodity-level designation a poor match for what state and local government is actually buying.
