UNSPSC 50626003: Non GMO giant winter spinach purees

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO giant winter spinach. 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 50626003 Non GMO giant winter spinach purees, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal product — specialty spinach purees with non-GMO certification — is not represented in the sixteen opportunities posted since January 2026. The recent opportunities under this UNSPSC category show a sharp mismatch between the code taxonomy and actual government buying: issuing bodies are soliciting broad food service fulfillment across produce, proteins, dairy, canned goods, condiments, and prepared entrees for school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and state agencies, but none of the posted bids name spinach purees or similar pureed vegetable products as line items or requirements.

The active opportunities cluster in school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County Schools in Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state-supported living centers and state hospitals), and correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice) across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. Recent solicitations posted by the State of Illinois (IFB 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026), Texas HHSC (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), and Oregon DOC (ITB S2910000017145 for canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026) reflect demand for shelf-stable canned and frozen commodities, fresh produce, proteins, and dairy rather than specialty pureed ingredients. The code warrants monitoring for future activity but shows no current procurement relevance for vendors offering non-GMO spinach purees or similar specialty vegetable products to state and local buyers.
