UNSPSC 50586323: Non GMO tiny tim tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO tiny tim 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 50586323 Non GMO tiny tim tomatoes is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code are sourcing fresh produce for child nutrition and institutional food service programs, particularly school districts serving breakfast and lunch to K–12 students. Recent solicitations show school districts buying fresh produce in bulk—apples, bananas, bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, tomatoes, and specialty items—as line items within larger food service contracts that also encompass dairy, grains, proteins, and non-food supplies. The code reflects narrow commodity-level specification within broader produce and fresh-food procurement families; the recent opportunities tagged to this code are predominantly fresh-produce supply contracts rather than tomato-specific buys, suggesting classification variance or aggregation at posting. School districts issuing under or near this code include Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), and Austin Independent School District (Texas), along with state-level procurement by Georgia Department of Education and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri).

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in Florida and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce (due May 7, 2026), covering USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable-compliant items delivered five days weekly during the school year; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies supporting NSLP and School Breakfast Program with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations; and Bulloch County School District's IFP for locally grown produce (due May 4, 2026) covering 24 items grown within 200 miles of the district. Most solicitations are RFPs or IFBs with response windows of 30–50 days; prices typically remain firm for the contract year (July 1–June 30) with prospective redetermination or escalation clauses tied to USDA market reports or CPI; contracts award to lowest responsive and responsible bidder and include renewal options of one to four years. Vendors must carry $500,000 to $2 million general liability insurance, comply with Buy American provisions, maintain HACCP certification, submit debarment certifications, and meet E-Verify requirements; no set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in the recent postings, and competition is open to qualified commercial distributors.
