UNSPSC 50586312: Non GMO marmande super tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO marmande super 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 50586312 Non GMO marmande super tomatoes is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local opportunities, captures fresh produce procurement across parks and recreation services, healthcare operations, state food services, and school nutrition programs. The code's nominal scope — a single heirloom tomato variety — does not align with the actual buying pattern in the opportunities posted under it. The Marion Health Care Coalition RFP (August 2026) sought general fresh fruits and vegetables for healthcare operations; Early County Board of Education's school lunch bid (May 2026) itemized 300+ food products including vegetables and fruits with domestic sourcing and no-additive preferences; the State of Georgia's food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (May 2026) covered a broad food-service category; and Collier County's concession food-services ITN (October 2026) requested diverse beverage and food options for park facilities. These solicitations suggest the code is being used for general fresh produce and food procurement rather than as a category for a specific tomato varietal.

Issuing bodies span school districts, county governments, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions. The most recent activity appears in Georgia (Early County Board of Education and State of Georgia procurement), Florida (Collier County), and Marion County (healthcare coalition). Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 RFQ is the most detailed recent opportunity, with line-by-line bids for vegetables, fruits, grains, and dairy across three schools for the 2026–2027 school year under the National School Lunch Program; Marion Health Care Coalition's August 21, 2026 RFQ sought produce vendors with delivery and freshness guarantees; and Collier County's March 6, 2025 ITN requested food concession operators with a 10-point local-vendor preference for permanent business addresses in Collier or Lee County. No dollar values or incumbent vendors are named in the summaries provided.
