UNSPSC 50606107: Frozen Non GMO malabar spinach

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO malabar 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 50606107 Frozen Non GMO malabar spinach is a Commodity code that captures procurement of specialty frozen produce items for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations show the code receives minimal targeted activity. The school nutrition and institutional food procurement opportunities posted over recent months—spanning Georgia, Missouri, and Texas school districts and state agencies—focus on comprehensive frozen and fresh produce portfolios, bulk grocery items, and food supply and distribution services rather than single-item frozen vegetable line-itemization. When frozen spinach or similar vegetables are procured, they typically appear as one line item within broader frozen food or produce RFPs that address dozens or hundreds of products at once. State and local issuing bodies acquiring frozen produce include school districts (Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Dallas Independent School District in Texas, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state procurement offices (Georgia Department of Education operations), and cooperative purchasing consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 school districts in Georgia). No recent opportunities specifically target frozen malabar spinach or non-GMO frozen spinach certification as a distinct line item.

Recent opportunities in the frozen and fresh produce space cluster heavily in Georgia, Missouri, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) for line-by-line food and non-food products supporting National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs across three schools; the Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items 2026-2027 (electronic bid via NUTRIKIDS, due April 29, 2026) for over 900 line items spanning snacks, fruits, vegetables, breads, dairy, meats, and prepared entrees; the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for Fresh Produce and Eggs (due March 4, 2026) serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two); and Dallas ISD's RFP for Various Food Products (due April 2, 2026) serving 2026-2027 school nutrition needs. All school district procurements specify Buy American compliance, HACCP plan requirements, food recall procedures, liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 minimums), and firm pricing for contract terms, often with quarterly or semiannual escalation adjustments tied to USDA or CPI indices. Contract periods run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options. The code shows no standout repeat activity for this specific commodity and would be worth monitoring only if your firm supplies frozen non-GMO specialty vegetables to institutional distributors or school nutrition programs directly rather than as finished-goods vendors to end-user districts.
