UNSPSC 50596104: Dried Non GMO horenso spinach

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO horenso 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 50596104 Dried Non GMO horenso spinach, a Commodity code, is rarely solicited directly by state and local governments; the recent opportunities tagged with this code do not match its nominal scope. Instead, dried non-GMO spinach appears incidentally within broad grocery and fresh produce solicitations issued by school districts, county boards of education, state health agencies, and municipal purchasing offices. The work actually being bought under this code's nominal designation involves meal service supply chains where spinach and other vegetables are bundled into comprehensive food procurement contracts rather than purchased as standalone dried-spinach line items.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated among school nutrition programs and senior meal services across Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, and Texas. Representative solicitations include Bridgeport Board of Education's BNB052266 grocery items IFB (due June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items for the National School Lunch Program), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026, covering 200+ produce items), and Bulloch County Board of Education's comprehensive school nutrition grocery bid IFB #043025 (due May 4, 2026, with contract July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with prior-period value of $1.5 million) and Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery (due June 25, 2026, estimated value $17,832,659.90 over three years) represent larger institutional food-service volumes. Geographic spread is heaviest in Georgia and the Southeast, with secondary activity in Texas, Connecticut, Florida, and Mississippi. Most solicitations emphasize Buy American provisions (51% domestic content minimum), HACCP compliance, nutritional standards per the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, and delivery within 24–48 hours. The code itself does not drive distinct procurement momentum; vendors pursuing this commodity should track school nutrition RFPs and IFBs that list vegetables as subcategories within master grocery contracts rather than expect standalone dried-spinach solicitations.
