UNSPSC 50596111: Dried Non GMO savoy spinach

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO savoy 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 50596111 Dried Non GMO Savoy Spinach is a Commodity code that covers a single specialized agricultural product with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's specific scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect a substantial mismatch: state and local buyers are soliciting comprehensive food and grocery services—including fresh produce, meals, proteins, dairy, and institutional catering—rather than dried non-GMO savoy spinach specifically. A school district, county, or state agency procurement officer tagging a grocery solicitation with this code would be using it as a catch-all category within a broader food-service family rather than seeking this commodity in isolation.

Recent opportunities span Connecticut, Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Mississippi, with school districts and counties dominating the issuing bodies. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) released an IFB for Master Grocery K-12 services with sealed bids due April 27, 2026; Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) issued an RFP for commercial groceries and USDA Foods with proposals due February 25, 2026, and anticipated contract value around $3.1 million; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items for the Board of Education on an IFB basis with bids due June 30, 2026; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued dual RFPs—one for food supply and distribution services (due February 18, 2026, estimated annual value $9 million) and a second for fresh produce and eggs through a cooperative purchasing vehicle (due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spending $5.5 million across 30 districts). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought food and consumable products for an institutional living center under IFB HHS0017449 with proposals due July 13, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) released an IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), and Bulloch County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB for comprehensive food products and supplies (due May 4, 2026). The code shows substantial procurement volume but little evidence of buyers seeking dried non-GMO savoy spinach as a line item; vendors should expect this code to route them into broad-based food-service RFPs where fresh and frozen produce, institutional staples, and bulk grocery supply dominate actual purchasing requirements.
