UNSPSC 50606104: Frozen Non GMO horenso spinach

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO horenso spinach 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 50606104 Frozen Non GMO Horenso Spinach is a Commodity code representing a single produce line item within the broader frozen vegetable procurement category. State and local governments acquire frozen spinach and other frozen vegetables as components of large food-service contracts rather than as standalone line-item procurements; the code appears within comprehensive bids for school nutrition programs, district-wide food supply agreements, and state food-service operations. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments, school districts, and school system networks that manage child nutrition programs. The relevant recent activity shows that frozen vegetables like horenso spinach are typically bundled within broader grocery and frozen-food solicitations targeting school lunch and breakfast programs, rather than being procured as discrete commodity items.

Recent state and local activity appears predominantly in Georgia and Missouri school districts. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP SN 26-003 in January 2026 (due February 18, 2026) for Food Supply and Distribution Services serving approximately 25,500 students across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000, encompassing main entrees, grains, fruits, vegetables, and staple items. The Early County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB in May 2026 (due June 8, 2026) for line-by-line food bids supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, including vegetables as part of approximately 300+ food items. The Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services in St. Louis County, Missouri solicited bids for approximately 900 grocery line items in March 2026 (due April 29, 2026) covering the 2026-27 school year. The City Schools of Decatur in Georgia issued an IFB in April 2026 (due May 15, 2026) for frozen foods and grocery items meeting whole-grain standards and low-sodium requirements. Frozen horenso spinach has not been explicitly named as a line item in the recent opportunities reviewed, indicating that this specific commodity code shows limited direct procurement activity; vendors pursuing this code should focus on participation in comprehensive school nutrition bids where frozen vegetables appear as components of larger product portfolios.
