UNSPSC 50626007: Non GMO medania spinach purees

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO medania 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 50626007 Non-GMO medania spinach purees is a Commodity code describing specialized vegetable purée products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations. The recent activity under this code, however, shows minimal direct solicitation for spinach purées specifically; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader fresh produce and food supply procurements where spinach purées and similar vegetable products may be included as line items within larger baskets of food and consumable products. State and local issuing bodies purchasing under related produce and food categories include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county and municipal school districts, and state-supported living centers. School nutrition programs represent the most active segment, with districts ranging from small county systems serving under 7,000 students to large urban systems like Fairfax County Public Schools serving 45-plus schools. State institutions including correctional facilities, veterans homes, and state hospitals also regularly solicit food supplies under broader commodity codes that encompass vegetable purées and specialty produce items.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with substantial recent solicitation volume in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), which covers multiple NIGP food service categories and includes specialty and prepared items; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services covering approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026). Most solicitations are structured as IFBs or RFPs with firm fixed pricing requirements, Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance mandates, and contract terms of one to three years with renewal options. The code itself sees modest dedicated activity; opportunities are typically acquired through line-item inclusion in comprehensive food service contracts rather than standalone spinach purée purchases.
