UNSPSC 50586009: Non GMO savoy spinach

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO savoy 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 50586009 Non GMO savoy spinach, a Commodity code, represents fresh produce items state and local governments procure for food service operations across parks, schools, health care facilities, and institutional dining. State and local buyers under this code include county parks and recreation departments, school districts operating meal programs, health care coalitions, and state procurement offices sourcing for institutional kitchens. The work involves supplying fresh vegetables meeting specified quality standards, delivery timelines, volume requirements, and food safety compliance — typically as part of broader produce or food-service contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases.

Recent activity shows solicitations from Collier County (parks concession food services via ITN posted October 8, 2026), Marion Health Care Coalition (produce proposals for 2026–2027 fiscal operations, due August 21, 2026), the State of Georgia (food supplies and kitchen products, due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education in Georgia (school lunch program food and non-food items, due June 8, 2026). Early County's solicitation illustrates the scale: approximately 300+ food items including vegetables, fruits, meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, and grains delivered to three schools Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Collier County) and Georgia (state procurement, Marion Health Care Coalition, and Early County Schools), with school districts and county food-service operations representing the most frequent recent buyers.
