UNSPSC 50586304: Non GMO brandywine tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO brandywine tomatoes. 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 50586304 Non GMO brandywine tomatoes is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh produce, particularly vegetables and fruits for institutional food service operations. Recent opportunities show demand for fresh produce across multiple issuing-body types — county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, state agencies, and school districts — each with distinct sourcing and compliance requirements. The Collier County Parks and Recreation Division's North Collier Regional Park food concession solicitation emphasizes menu variety and operational capability for high-volume tournament seasons. The Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposals target general fresh fruit and vegetable delivery to healthcare facilities. Early County Board of Education's comprehensive food bid includes 300+ line items spanning vegetables, fruits, grains, and dairy, with explicit domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain emphasis, low-sodium and no-added-sugar formulations, and USDA compliance. The Georgia state bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products indicates broader institutional food-service procurement activity at the state level.

Recent activity spans Florida (Collier County ITN posted October 8, 2026, due March 6, 2025; Marion Health Care Coalition RFP posted August 7, 2026, due August 21, 2026), Georgia (state bid posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026; Early County Schools IFB posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026), and presumably other states represented in the Marion Health Care Coalition procurement. School districts dominate the recent pipeline with explicit line-by-line food bid activity; Early County's bid cycle shows typical institutional produce procurement structures including firm pricing for 15 days post-award, price escalation tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service indices, piggybacking rights, Buy American compliance, and E-Verify verification. Local-vendor preferences and minority/women business enterprise scoring appear in the Collier County opportunity (10 evaluation points for local address and employee residency; 5 points for certified WBE/MBE status). Vendors should expect detailed compliance requirements including food safety, HACCP documentation, liability insurance thresholds, and product-specific certifications such as milk temperature, fat content, and bacteria-count documentation.
