UNSPSC 50606100: Frozen Non GMO spinaches

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO spinaches that has been frozen 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 50606100 Frozen Non GMO spinaches is a Class code that encompasses shelf-stable and fresh food procurement by state and local jurisdictions, though recent solicitations under this code tag a broader range of food-service purchasing than frozen spinach alone — the actual work includes canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables, meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, fresh fruits and vegetables, grains, bread products, fluid milk, and miscellaneous food-service items. School districts, county governments, and state purchasing offices are the primary issuing bodies. Early County Board of Education and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners have posted opportunities recently; the State of Georgia also issued a food procurement solicitation in the same window. The work involves formal bid solicitations (IFB, RFQ) with line-item or category-level awards, F.O.B. destination delivery, compliance with USDA nutrition and sourcing standards in school settings, temperature-controlled logistics for fluid milk and other perishables, and vendor qualification requirements including liability insurance, food-safety plans, and debarment verification for awards above $25,000.

Georgia dominates recent activity under this code. Gwinnett County posted IWQ 140229 on October 13, 2026, requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026 and quotes due October 19, 2026. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, covering 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies with delivery across three schools, bids due June 8, 2026, and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026 with bids due June 22, 2026, though the full scope was contained in an attached document. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; pricing remains firm for 15 days from award, with escalation requests considered on a six-month basis supported by USDA or CPI data.
