UNSPSC 50586005: Non GMO lamb's quarters or wild spinach

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO lamb's quarters 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 50586005 Non GMO lamb's quarters or wild spinach is a Commodity code that reflects state and local procurement of specialty produce items, though the recent opportunities supporting this code show little activity directly aligned with lamb's quarters or wild spinach as a category. The recent solicitations tagged under this code instead cover broader food-service and produce procurement by counties, school districts, and health-care coalitions — including general fresh-fruit-and-vegetable supply agreements, regional-park concession food services, and National School Lunch Program produce sourcing. When state and local procurement offices tag opportunities with this code, they are typically buying mixed produce assortments to support institutional food service operations rather than sourcing a single specialty green.

Recent opportunities span multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, with proposals due March 6, 2025, requiring vendors to provide diverse food and beverage options across park facilities and concessions with a three-year contract term and local-vendor preference scoring. Marion Health Care Coalition (MHCC) sought produce-vendor proposals on August 7, 2026 for the 2026-2027 period, due August 21, 2026, covering fresh fruits and vegetables to be delivered according to operational needs. The State of Georgia issued a bid on May 15, 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 deadline. Early County Board of Education released a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 for National School Lunch Program items, due June 8, 2026, specifying approximately 300 food line items including vegetables and fruits alongside meats, dairy, grains, and condiments, with domestic sourcing emphasis and delivery to three schools across the contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Activity under the code concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with school districts and county park systems representing the primary issuing bodies.
