UNSPSC 50586008: Non GMO orach spinach

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO orach 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 50586008 Non GMO orach spinach is a Commodity code covering specialty vegetable procurement by state and local governments, specifically non-GMO varieties of leafy greens used in food-service operations. Recent solicitations show this code tagged to produce and food-service contracts across counties, school districts, and health coalitions, though the specific non-GMO orach spinach line item appears embedded within broader fresh-produce or food-supply scopes rather than as a stand-alone procurement. State and local buyers solicit produce under this code through Invitations to Negotiate, requests for proposals, and competitive sealed bids, typically bundling specialty vegetables with broader fruit-and-vegetable offerings or as components of school meal programs and regional-park food services. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, school districts, state procurement offices, and health-care coalitions, with the work spanning food-service operations at regional parks, school cafeterias across multiple campuses, and institutional meal programs.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Florida, and the Marion Health Care Coalition region (location unspecified in source), with representative solicitations including the Early County Board of Education's FY27 food bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items including vegetables delivered to three schools under the National School Lunch Program, the State of Georgia's May 2026 bid for food, supplies, and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026), the Marion Health Care Coalition's August 2026 produce request (proposals due August 21, 2026), and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services (due March 6, 2025), which includes produce for concession operations across park venues and athletic facilities. School district and county procurement offices show the highest recent activity, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, USDA-compliant specifications, food safety documentation, and Buy American compliance where applicable.
