UNSPSC 50586865: Non GMO water spinach

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO water 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 50586865 Non GMO water spinach is a Commodity code. State and local governments do not appear to be buying non-GMO water spinach specifically under this code. The recent solicitations tagged to this UNSPSC across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida school districts overwhelmingly procure broad fresh produce assortments—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, citrus, berries, and dozens of other items for school nutrition programs, child nutrition services, and farm-to-school initiatives—but none of the posted opportunities identify water spinach, GMO status, or specialty leafy greens as a line item or procurement focus. The code appears misaligned with actual state and local purchasing activity.

School districts across multiple states remain the dominant issuing bodies, including Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), alongside state procurement offices in Georgia soliciting produce for state operations. Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, and Florida; Georgia school districts post the highest volume of fresh produce RFPs and IFBs. Representative solicitations include Early County Board of Education's IFB for food vendors with a June 8, 2026 deadline (serving the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across three schools); Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce due May 7, 2026 (serving 127 campuses across San Antonio with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance); Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program due March 11, 2026 (targeting 18 elementary schools with an estimated annual budget of $600,000); and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative due March 4, 2026 (coordinating purchases across 30 districts in two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined). The code does not reflect actionable buying signals for non-GMO water spinach procurement.
