UNSPSC 50606113: Frozen Non GMO space spinach

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO space 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 50606113 Frozen Non GMO space spinach is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a specialized produce item, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little activity aligned with frozen spinach procurement specifically. Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote request for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services encompasses 35 line items of canned and dry goods—peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables—with no mention of frozen produce. Early County Board of Education's June 2026 line-by-line food bid for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program support includes meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, fresh vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments across approximately 300+ items, again with no specific callout for frozen spinach. A May 2026 State of Georgia bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products provides minimal detail in the abstract notice. The code shows mismatch between its nominal commodity scope and what state and local governments are actually procuring under it—the opportunities reflect broad food-service purchasing across shelf-stable staples and fresh/refrigerated items rather than specialty frozen produce lines.

The geographic footprint of recent activity centers on Georgia, with Gwinnett County (a large suburban Atlanta jurisdiction), Early County Schools, and the State of Georgia itself posting opportunities in mid-to-late 2026. Issuing bodies span county general services (community services programs serving seniors), school districts (National School Lunch Program operations), and state-level procurement. Gwinnett County's quote request closed October 19, 2026 with questions due October 14 directed to Casey Beauston at the Purchasing Division; Early County Schools' bid closed June 8, 2026 with questions due May 29; and the State of Georgia's bid closed June 22, 2026. The code's narrow commodity definition does not align with the broad food-service category buying actually occurring under it in recent state and local practice, suggesting either tagging inconsistency in the underlying notice database or minimal procurement of frozen non-GMO spinach specifically through state and local formal solicitations.
