UNSPSC 50586012: Non GMO trinidad spinach

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO trinidad 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 50586012 Non GMO trinidad spinach is a Commodity code encompassing fresh produce items, particularly leafy greens and specialty vegetables sourced to non-GMO standards. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through food-service operations serving parks, recreational facilities, schools, and healthcare systems. The recent solicitations show procurement spanning produce supply for institutional kitchens, park concession operations, and school meal programs where produce quality, freshness, delivery timeliness, and compliance with food-safety and sourcing standards drive the specification. Counties, school districts, and special-purpose healthcare coalitions issue solicitations under this code; repeat activity is concentrated among school districts and county parks departments managing food-service operations.

Geographic activity over the past four months spans Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Marion Health Care Coalition), Georgia (State of Georgia, Early County Board of Education), with school districts and county procurement offices representing the primary issuing bodies. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line bid (ITB, due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits under the National School Lunch Program with domestic sourcing preferences and whole-grain emphasis; Collier County's Invitation to Negotiate (ITN, due March 6, 2025) for food services at North Collier Regional Park requiring diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues with a 10-point local-vendor preference; and Marion Health Care Coalition's request for produce proposals (due August 21, 2026) for the 2026-2027 contract period specifying quality standards, delivery timelines, and seasonal pricing adjustments.
