UNSPSC 50586318: Non GMO san marzano tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO san marzano 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 50586318 Non GMO san marzano tomatoes is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local public bodies, though recent opportunities show the code does not confine purchases to San Marzano varieties or tomatoes alone. State and local solicitations under this code source broad fresh-produce portfolios — fresh fruits and vegetables, with emphasis on produce meeting food-safety compliance, quality standards, and delivery reliability. Issuing bodies are diverse: county parks and recreation departments (Collier County), regional health-care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), state procurement offices (Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). School districts represent a significant portion of activity, procuring produce as part of broader food-service packages that include meats, dairy, grains, and specialty items tied to National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and likely other states with school-based procurement calendars.
