UNSPSC 50596105: Dried Non GMO iceplant spinach

The variety of Non GMO new zrealand spinach known as Non GMO iceplant 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 50596105 Dried Non GMO iceplant spinach (Commodity) covers specialty dried vegetable products for institutional food service, though the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal direct solicitation of this specific item. The code sits within a broader category of dried produce and specialty vegetables used by school districts, county health and human services facilities, and municipal agencies for meal programs. State and local buyers in this space typically source dried vegetables as components of larger grocery, fresh produce, or prepared-food contracts rather than as standalone line items, which limits the visibility of commodity-level dried iceplant spinach solicitations in the public record.

Recent opportunities in related food-service categories span Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education solicited over 1,100 line items of grocery products (RFQ BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) supporting the National School Lunch Program; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with historical annual value of $1.5 million); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia requested fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); and Hillsborough County in Florida solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026). No recent posted opportunity explicitly names dried iceplant spinach as a line item, suggesting the code may be overtagged or used infrequently by procuring agencies. Buyers pursuing this code should monitor school nutrition programs and congregate meal services where specialty vegetable ingredients appear in broader grocery or ingredient-supply solicitations, but direct commodity-level demand for dried Non GMO iceplant spinach shows limited recent activity in state and local procurement channels.
