UNSPSC 50586310: Non GMO grape tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO grape 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 50586310 Non GMO grape tomatoes is a Commodity code representing a single produce item. State and local governments soliciting under this code buy fresh tomatoes—specifically non-GMO varieties—for institutional food service, primarily child nutrition programs in K–12 schools. Recent solicitations show the code supporting school district produce procurement where tomatoes appear as one line item within broader fresh-produce contracts. School districts regularly specify tomato varieties, pack sizes, quality standards, ripeness thresholds, and delivery schedules in their RFPs and IFBs; contracts typically require USDA compliance, HACCP certification from vendors, Buy American sourcing preference, and delivery to multiple school sites on fixed weekly schedules.

Solicitations come predominantly from Georgia and Texas school districts, with secondary activity in Missouri and Florida. Georgia dominates the recent-opportunities block: the Muscogee County School District (ITB 26-017, bids due April 27, 2026), Glynn County Board of Education (IFB 27-02, bids due April 14, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (IFB, bids due April 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34, bids due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004 via GEC Buying Cooperative, bids due March 4, 2026) all solicited produce including tomatoes. Outside Georgia, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas (RFP 2026-048, bids due May 7, 2026), Early County Board of Education in Georgia (RFP, bids due June 8, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida (RFP 26039RFPDST, bids due March 11, 2026) issued produce procurement notices with tomatoes specified in line-item detail. Activity spans March through June 2026, clustering around standard school-year procurement cycles. No isolated tomato contracts appear in the block; tomatoes are consistently embedded within 60–72-line-item fresh-produce schedules managed on annual contracts with renewal options, typically commencing July 1 and running through June 30 of the following fiscal year.
