UNSPSC 50592804: Dried Non GMO perpetual spinach chard

The variety of Non GMO chard known as Non GMO perpetual spinach chard that has been dried for preservation. 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 50592804 Dried Non GMO Perpetual Spinach Chard is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct procurement activity in state and local markets; the recent solicitation records show no substantive demand targeting this specific product line. School districts, county boards of education, and state agencies procuring food supplies do acquire fresh and processed vegetables—including leafy greens—but they do so under broad-based grocery, fresh produce, and food supply contracts that span dozens or hundreds of line items rather than narrowly specified dried spinach chard offerings. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery solicitation (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) encompasses over 1,100 line items; Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) lists more than 200 produce items; and the Douglas County School System's food supply RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000046, due February 18, 2026) targets approximately $9 million in annual entrees, grains, fruits, vegetables, and staples across 32 schools. These procurement vehicles aggregate produce demand at the district or regional level and allow multiple vendors to bid on individual line items or product categories, but they do not isolate dried spinach chard as a named commodity requiring separate responses.

The issuing-body mix across recent opportunities skews heavily toward K–12 school districts and boards of education in Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia, with secondary activity from county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida) and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Education). School nutrition programs drive the majority of fresh produce and vegetable procurement, typically as part of multi-year annual contracts requiring compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP food safety plans, nutritional standards under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, and Net 30–45 payment terms. Dried spinach chard, if procured at all within this market, appears only as a sub-line within these broader grocery or produce awards, with no standalone RFPs, IFBs, or RFQs identified in the recent activity block. Firms targeting this code should recognize that state and local demand exists primarily within aggregated food service contracts; standalone dried-spinach procurement at the commodity level does not register in current state and local solicitation patterns.
