UNSPSC 50606106: Frozen Non GMO lamb's quarters or wild spinach

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO lamb's quarters 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 50606106 Frozen Non GMO lamb's quarters or wild spinach, a Commodity code, addresses specialized produce procurement by state and local entities, though recent activity shows limited direct solicitation for this specific item. State and local governments buy frozen non-GMO leafy greens primarily through food-service supply contracts that bundle produce with broader commodity offerings—peanut butter, canned proteins, dairy, grains, and paper products. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and school districts including Early County Board of Education are the primary issuing bodies active in food procurement, with school districts managing the largest volumes through National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program contracts. These jurisdictions enforce domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain specifications, low-sodium formulations, products without added sugars or artificial additives, and Buy American compliance when the contract value exceeds applicable thresholds.

Recent opportunities under this code appear minimal; the three most recent Georgia and Early County solicitations focus on bulk food items (shelf-stable products, meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, and common frozen vegetables) rather than specialty frozen greens. Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of food items due October 19, 2026 emphasizes canned vegetables and shelf-stable staples for the Department of Community Services, with delivery to Lawrenceville, Georgia by December 7, 2026. Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid due June 8, 2026 encompasses 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits but does not itemize frozen lamb's quarters or wild spinach specifically. The State of Georgia's May 2026 food, supplies, and other kitchen products IFB (due June 22, 2026) provides limited detail in the public summary. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor school district and county human-services food-service bids in Georgia and neighboring states, where specialty produce items are occasionally embedded within broader commodity frameworks rather than solicited as standalone line items.
