UNSPSC 50586316: Non GMO red alert tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO red alert 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 50586316 Non GMO red alert tomatoes is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, particularly tomatoes meeting non-GMO standards. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include county parks and recreation departments, school districts, health care coalitions, and state procurement offices. Recent opportunities show that scope extends beyond tomatoes alone to broader fresh produce and food-service categories, with solicitations requiring compliance with food safety regulations, USDA sourcing preferences, temperature-controlled delivery, and documentation of product freshness and origin. Issuing bodies range from county-level park operations seeking food concession vendors to school districts procuring produce as part of comprehensive National School Lunch Program food service contracts. The code appears to map onto mixed food-procurement activities where fresh vegetables figure as line items within larger solicitations rather than standing alone as dedicated tomato purchases.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and additional states. Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026 (due March 6, 2025) for North Collier Regional Park food services, including fresh food and beverage concessions; the scope includes produce components as part of a broader concession operations contract.
