UNSPSC 50626011: Non GMO space spinach purees

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO space 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 50626011 Non GMO space spinach purees (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The recent opportunities show state and local governments procuring broad consumable food products—prepared foods, shelf-stable staples, canned vegetables, and food service supplies—for state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, county senior services, correctional facilities, and state hospitals, but none of the posted solicitations reference non-GMO space spinach purees or spinach products of any kind. The code's nominal scope is highly specialized; the actual buying activity under the code tag spans generic food procurement across diverse product categories and issuing bodies.

Recent opportunities originate from Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple state-supported living centers and hospital systems), Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state procurement, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Ben Hill County Schools. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHS Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB for food products and related items due June 15, 2026, covering fresh produce, meat, dairy, and kitchen supplies across four school locations. No recent opportunities under this code address non-GMO space spinach purees specifically, indicating either a code tagging error or minimal current demand for this specialized commodity in state and local procurement.
