UNSPSC 50606110: Frozen Non GMO orach spinach

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO orach 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 50606110 Frozen Non-GMO orach spinach is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh and frozen vegetables for institutional food service, though recent opportunities tagged under this code actually reflect a much broader procurement scope spanning shelf-stable and fresh food products for senior services, school nutrition programs, and general institutional dining. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Early County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia have posted solicitations in this category within the past five months, indicating steady demand from county government purchasing offices, school district food service programs, and state-level institutional procurement. The kinds of work being solicited include institutional food sourcing for senior services and K–12 National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, with vendors expected to meet USDA nutrition standards, Buy American provisions, food safety compliance (HACCP plans, food recall procedures, biosecurity policies), and delivery logistics to multiple school sites or senior service centers.
