UNSPSC 50586002: Non GMO bloomsdale spinach

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO bloomsdale 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 50586002 Non GMO bloomsdale spinach is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement — specifically leafy greens and vegetables — by state and local agencies for food service operations. Recent opportunities show the code tracking broader fresh-produce solicitations across multiple public jurisdictions rather than narrowly to spinach alone. State and local buyers under this code include county park and recreation departments operating concession facilities, school districts supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices. The scope of work covers provision and delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables meeting quality standards, food-safety compliance, and delivery timelines specified in individual contracts, with pricing often subject to seasonal availability adjustments and federal or state sourcing preferences including Buy American provisions and domestic-sourcing emphasis.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and multi-state health-care networks. Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (RFQ, response due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits to support school meal programs across three schools with delivery Monday through Friday; Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate (ITN, response due March 6, 2025) for food-service vendor selection at North Collier Regional Park, including concession operations at athletic facilities; Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposal solicitation (RFQ, response due August 21, 2026) for fresh fruits and vegetables during the 2026-2027 contract period; and the State of Georgia's bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (IFB, response due June 22, 2026). School districts and county park systems represent the most active recent buyers under this code.
