UNSPSC 50586322: Non GMO tigerella tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO tigerella 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 50586322 Non GMO tigerella tomatoes (Commodity) describes a single produce line item, but state and local governments procure this commodity as part of broader fresh produce and food service contracts for school nutrition programs, institutional foodservice, and farm-to-school initiatives. Recent solicitations confirm that tigerella tomatoes, when sought, are purchased alongside dozens of other fresh vegetable and fruit items in consolidated contracts rather than as standalone line items. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Early County Board of Education, Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa), Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Glynn County Board of Education all actively soliciting produce contracts in recent months. State agencies also appear (Georgia Department of Education posts multiple fresh produce RFQs and IFBs), as do independent school districts in Texas (McAllen, Austin). School nutrition procurement dominates the category—driven by federal Child Nutrition and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program funding—with contracts specifying HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, USDA compliance, food recall procedures, and temperature-controlled delivery to school locations.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with recent opportunities also posted from Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District) and Florida (Hillsborough County). Early County Board of Education issued RFP PE55045NONST2027000000006 (due June 8, 2026) for line-by-line food bids supporting National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without artificial additives. Liberty County Board of Education posted IFB PE68910NONST2026000000050 (due April 29, 2026) for sealed bids on produce and food products across 13 school sites, pricing on a line-item basis with weekly deliveries Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Northside Independent School District (Bexar County, Texas) issued RFP 2026-048 (due May 7, 2026) for fresh produce delivery to all district campuses five days per week during the school year and summer sessions, requiring HACCP certification and pricing adjustments based on USDA Specialty Crops Terminal Markets Standard Reports. The Douglas County School System has issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) covering 30 school districts across two Georgia geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, unit pricing on documented net cost plus fixed fee, with automatic renewal for additional one-year terms not to exceed five years total unless 60 days' written notice is provided.
