UNSPSC 50596402: Dried Non GMO alicante tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO alicante tomatoes that have been dried for preservation. 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 50596402 Dried Non GMO alicante tomatoes is a Commodity code that describes a single dried tomato product line. State and local governments do not appear to be procuring dried alicante tomatoes specifically under this code in recent activity. The most-recent opportunities tagged to this code span broad food service procurement for school districts, county boards of education, state agencies, and municipal governments — school nutrition programs, senior meal services, institutional food supply contracts, and general grocery sourcing for public facilities. None of these solicitations explicitly identify dried Non-GMO alicante tomatoes as a line item; the code appears to have been assigned to multipurpose food procurement notices that encompass hundreds of food products across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, snacks, and prepared items, rather than to tomato-specific sourcing.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and municipalities (City of Dallas, City of Meriden). Geographic activity spans Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. Representative solicitations include the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution serving approximately 25,500 students (DCSDSN26-003, due February 18, 2026, with estimated annual spend of approximately $9,000,000). The code's recent activity reflects general institutional and school food service procurement rather than specialty or single-commodity sourcing.
