UNSPSC 50626010: Non GMO sigmaleaf spinach purees

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO sigmaleaf 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 50626010 Non GMO sigmaleaf spinach purees is a Commodity code, but state and local government procurement activity under this specific code shows no meaningful recent opportunities—the source lists opportunities tagged to this code that do not reflect spinach puree procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests the code does not represent an active category in state and local contracting at present.

State and local jurisdictions soliciting under related food and produce categories are school districts, state agencies, and county departments of education procuring broad-based meal service supplies—fresh produce, frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy, and dry goods—rather than specialized pureed vegetable products. Recent activity instead concentrates on comprehensive grocery buys (Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12, Texas HHSC food and consumable products for state supported living centers, Georgia school districts' fresh produce and eggs), weekly food orders for institutional facilities (Illinois Veterans Homes, Oregon Department of Corrections canned goods), and annual school nutrition contracts across multiple sites. Geographic concentration appears strongest in Georgia (Douglas County Schools RFP SN 26-004, Liberty County Board of Education food IFB, Muscogee County School District produce ITB, Savannah-Chatham County School System fresh produce bid), Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, HHSC statewide supplemental foods, TDCJ cafeteria food products), and Oregon (Department of Corrections canned tomato and tomato paste procurements). The code's intended product category does not align with the representative recent solicitations in the source, indicating pursuit of this specific commodity code would likely require direct engagement with institutional food service buyers rather than reliance on typical state or local solicitation channels.
