UNSPSC 50586306: Non GMO cherry tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO cherry 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 50586306 Non GMO cherry tomatoes, a Commodity code, addresses fresh produce procurement by state and local jurisdictions for food-service operations. The code encompasses procurement of specialty produce varieties — in this case non-GMO cherry tomatoes specifically — sourced to meet operational and dietary preferences across parks concessions, healthcare facilities, school nutrition programs, and institutional food services. The issuing bodies span county parks departments, school districts, state procurement offices, and healthcare-affiliated coalitions, each soliciting produce to fulfill either direct public-facing concession operations or captive institutional meal programs serving students, patients, or visitors. Recent opportunities show that state and local food procurement under this code emphasizes fresh-produce sourcing with attention to food safety compliance, delivery logistics, and seasonal product availability, often as part of broader food-service or kitchen-supply contracts rather than standalone specialty-produce buys.

Activity appears geographically dispersed, with recent solicitations from Florida (Collier County), Georgia (statewide and Early County Schools), and Marion County (likely Florida or another state), though the available records do not establish clear concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate for North Collier Regional Park food services (posted October 8, 2026, due March 6, 2025) encompassing concession operations where produce vendors would supply fresh items alongside other food offerings; Marion Health Care Coalition's produce-vendor proposal request (posted August 7, 2026, due August 21, 2026) for fresh fruits and vegetables under a 2026-2027 contract; the State of Georgia's broad food, supplies, and kitchen-products bid (posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026); and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) spanning 300+ food items with emphasis on domestic sourcing and whole-grain and low-sodium specifications. The school district procurement specifically flags produce within a larger scope that includes meats, dairy, grains, and paper supplies, suggesting that specialty-produce codes often compete within multi-category food-service solicitations where buyers evaluate produce vendors alongside larger food-service providers.
