UNSPSC 50586324: Non GMO tumbler tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO tumbler 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 50586324 Non GMO tumbler tomatoes is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local food service operations, particularly school districts, county parks departments, and healthcare organizations supplying meals to students, visitors, and patients. State and local governments solicit tomatoes and related fresh produce through a mix of school lunch program bids (covering National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program requirements), county park concession operations, and healthcare facility meal services. Recent solicitations show school districts and county governments purchasing fresh vegetables as line items within broader food-service contracts that also encompass meats, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, county parks and recreation divisions, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions, each with distinct operational needs and regulatory requirements. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and produce without added sugars or artificial additives, while parks departments and healthcare facilities focus on quality, freshness, and delivery reliability to support concurrent operations across multiple venues or patient-care facilities.
