UNSPSC 50596102: Dried Non GMO bloomsdale spinach

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO bloomsdale spinach 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 50596102 Dried Non GMO Bloomsdale Spinach is a Commodity code representing a single produce item — dehydrated spinach — that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show this code appearing within large grocery and fresh produce contracts where spinach, whether fresh or processed, is one line item among hundreds spanning vegetables, fruits, dairy, proteins, and related food products. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, followed by state health and human services agencies and county boards. School nutrition programs operating under the National School Lunch Program and the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act are the primary buying driver, with additional demand from state-supported living facilities and senior meal programs. All recent opportunities enforce Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products) and require vendor compliance with USDA nutrition standards, HACCP food safety plans, product labeling with nutritional information, and allergen restrictions including nut-free specifications.

Recent opportunities span Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi.
