UNSPSC 50596109: Dried Non GMO new zealand spinach

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO new zealand 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 50596109 Dried Non GMO New Zealand Spinach is a Commodity code that sits at the lowest tier of the UN taxonomy. State and local governments rarely procure this specific product in isolation; instead, dried spinach appears as one line item within much larger food service and nutrition supply contracts. Recent opportunities tagged with this code show that the actual buying activity occurs at school districts, county health and human services agencies, and municipal education departments sourcing comprehensive grocery and fresh produce portfolios for student meal programs, senior nutrition services, and institutional food service operations. The code itself names a narrow commodity, but the state and local market moves it as part of broad-based food supply agreements rather than standalone dried-spinach purchases.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). County and state health and human services agencies appear as secondary buyers—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement for the El Paso State Supported Living Center and the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners senior meal delivery program. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases and City of Dallas procurement offices round out the issuing mix. School nutrition and institutional food service drive the volume. Recent representative opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education grocery bid (IFB BNB052266, over 1,100 line items, due June 30, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System Food Supply and Distribution RFP (SN 26-003, estimated $9 million annual spend, due February 18, 2026). Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, and Virginia show the heaviest recent posting activity, though Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia also appear. Pursuit of this code works best when paired with broader food-service distributor or specialty produce-supply capability rather than as a standalone commodity play.
