UNSPSC 50586327: Non GMO yellow perfection tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO yellow perfection 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 50586327 Non GMO yellow perfection tomatoes is a Commodity code that covers the procurement of fresh produce, specifically non-GMO tomato varieties, for use in food service operations across state and local institutions. State and local governments buy fresh vegetables and produce under this code primarily to support institutional food service — school lunch programs, healthcare facility dining, and public recreation facility concessions. The issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education), county governments and their parks departments (Collier County), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts drive the most visible activity, sourcing produce as part of broader food and non-food product buys to meet National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives.

Recent solicitations show activity across the Southeast. Early County Board of Education issued an IFB for food and non-food products due June 8, 2026, encompassing approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits for delivery across three schools. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025, requiring vendors to provide diverse food and beverage options including fresh produce across multiple venues. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce-specific RFP due August 21, 2026, seeking fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 contract period. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products IFB due June 22, 2026. School district contracts typically run one fiscal year with renewal options and require compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, food-safety documentation, and liability insurance; county and healthcare procurements generally follow similar food-safety and insurance standards. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with broader state-level activity in Georgia.
