UNSPSC 50586007: Non GMO medania spinach

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO medania 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 50586007 Non GMO medania spinach is a Commodity code covering fresh produce items, specifically spinach and leafy greens meeting non-GMO specifications, that state and local governments procure for food service operations across parks, healthcare facilities, schools, and state agencies. The solicitations under this code show that state and local buyers source produce through both competitive bidding and invitation-to-negotiate processes, with vendors expected to meet food-safety compliance, delivery schedules, quality standards, and in some cases domestic sourcing or whole-food preferences. The issuing bodies include county parks departments, county school districts, state governments, and healthcare coalitions, all of which treat produce procurement as part of broader food-service supply chains rather than as standalone line items.

Recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdictional types. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) posted October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a March 6, 2025 due date, requiring vendors to supply diverse food and beverage options including fresh produce across multiple park venues; this solicitation prioritizes local vendors through a 10-point preference for businesses meeting Collier or Lee County residency criteria. The Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued a competitive bid due June 8, 2026 for approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, delivered to three schools under the National School Lunch Program. The Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce proposal solicitation due August 21, 2026, and the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. The code shows activity across Georgia (state level and school districts) and Florida counties, with school nutrition programs and public recreation departments as primary buyers of fresh-produce commodities.
