UNSPSC 50596108: Dried Non GMO medania spinach

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO medania 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 50596108 Dried Non-GMO Medania Spinach is a Commodity-tier code that nominally names a single dried vegetable product, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevance to dried spinach specifically. The code does not appear in the scope of recent state and local solicitations, which instead focus on comprehensive grocery supply, fresh produce procurement, and meal delivery services spanning dozens or hundreds of line items. The mismatch between the code's narrow product name and the breadth of actual food-service purchasing suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a lack of independent demand for dried medania spinach as a standalone line item.

Recent solicitations posted across Connecticut, Georgia, Texas, Florida, Mississippi, and Virginia target large-volume food sourcing for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food service rather than individual ingredient procurement. Representative opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, closed April 27, 2026) seeking a Master Grocery K-12 contract across 45 schools plus distribution kitchens; Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-003, due February 18, 2026) requesting food supply and distribution for approximately 32,000 meals daily; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) seeking food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026) procuring 72 fresh produce items across 60 school sites; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (ITB 26-00289, due June 25, 2026) requesting senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17,832,659.90 over three years. School districts and state agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, with scattered municipal and county participation. The code shows no recent activity aligned specifically to dried spinach procurement.
