UNSPSC 50626009: Non GMO savoy spinach purees

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO savoy 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 50626009 Non GMO savoy spinach purees is a Commodity code covering specialized produce and vegetable products state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, health and human services institutions, and veteran care centers. Recent solicitations show little activity directly tagged to this code; instead, state and local buyers are issuing broad food procurement RFPs and IFBs that encompass vegetables, produce, and prepared items across multiple product categories rather than spinach purees as a line-item focus. The issuing-body mix spans school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI and Liberty County and Burke County school districts in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state agencies (State of Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Georgia state agencies), and corrections and health-services facilities purchasing through state procurement divisions.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school districts and Texas state health facilities. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually; the State of Illinois IFB 27497DVAQUINCB52821 (posted June 18, 2026, due June 26, 2026) for quarterly weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) seeking sealed bids for comprehensive school nutrition food products across multiple categories delivered to four school locations. Most recent solicitations are structured as broad food service bids rather than category-specific procurements, meaning spinach puree vendors would bid as line items within larger grocery or produce tenders rather than standalone opportunities.
