UNSPSC 50606115: Frozen Non GMO water spinach

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO water 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 50606115 Frozen Non GMO water spinach is a Commodity code that covers the procurement of frozen water spinach products meeting non-GMO specifications for use in institutional food service and nutrition programs. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school districts and county departments managing food service operations for students, seniors, and community members. The recent opportunities show that purchasing bodies source frozen vegetables as components within broader food procurement efforts that emphasize domestic sourcing, nutritional compliance, and specific formulation requirements such as whole-grain specifications and low-sodium options. Schools and county social-service departments typically bundle frozen vegetables with other produce, proteins, grains, and supplies in line-item competitive bidding processes where vendors quote unit pricing and deliver to multiple school sites or senior centers on standing weekly or bi-weekly schedules.

Recent activity centers on Georgia, where the Early County Board of Education issued a June 8, 2026 IFB for food and non-food items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an October 19, 2026 IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services. The State of Georgia also issued a June 22, 2026 IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with scope details in attached solicitation documentation. Frozen water spinach, when solicited, typically appears as a single line item within these broader food procurements rather than as a standalone contract; vendors responding to school district or county food bids quote unit pricing and must meet delivery windows, temperature-control requirements for frozen items, and compliance with Buy American provisions and HACCP protocols when contract values exceed thresholds.
