UNSPSC 50626015: Non GMO iceplant spinach purees

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO iceplant 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 50626015 Non GMO iceplant spinach purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classification. Recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code cover broad food procurement for school nutrition programs, state facilities, and correctional institutions—including canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, cafeteria food products, and comprehensive grocery supply contracts. The code's nominal focus on a single specialty vegetable product bears little relationship to the diverse, large-scale food commodity sourcing that jurisdictions are actually executing. The issuing bodies span state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District), and specialty purchasing cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). School districts represent the largest share of recent activity, with multiple procurements posted in the first half of 2026 for annual food supply contracts covering July 2026 through June 2027 performance periods.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million for the prior annual period); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomato products (response due April 6, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases); Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products across multiple categories (response due June 15, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (response due April 27, 2026, 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens); and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services for 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual value of $9 million. Payment terms typically run Net 30 days from invoice or delivery acceptance, contract periods span one to three years with renewal options, and most procurements use sealed bid or RFP notice types with firm fixed pricing that may escalate annually based on USDA market indices or Consumer Price Index adjustments. Buy American Act compliance is standard across school and state facility procurements.
