UNSPSC 50596411: Dried Non GMO green tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO green 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 50596411 Dried Non GMO green tomatoes is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity recorded in recent state and local solicitations. The code's narrow product specification—a single specialty dried vegetable item—bears no clear relationship to the scope of work being solicited under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged with this code span comprehensive grocery procurement, fresh produce supply, meal preparation and delivery services, and institutional food service contracting across school districts, county boards of education, state agencies, and city governments. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests either systematic miscoding at the source level or that this code is not an active procurement category for state and local buyers.

The most recent opportunities include a Bridgeport Board of Education grocery contract (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, IFB, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items with Buy American requirements and nutritional compliance obligations; a Texas Health and Human Services Commission food and consumable products procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) valued at $1.5 million historically; Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce procurement (Georgia, IFB, due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items with delivery to three school locations; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners senior meal preparation and delivery services (Florida, ITB 26-00289, estimated at $17,832,659.90 over three years). Additional activity includes Fairfax County Public Schools grocery supply (Virginia, IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), Meriden Public Schools commercial groceries and USDA Foods (Connecticut, RFP 02641, anticipated contract value approximately $3,100,000), Douglas County School System food supply and distribution (Georgia, RFP 26-003, estimated $9,000,000 annually), and fresh produce procurements by Bulloch County and Savannah-Chatham County school systems in Georgia. Soliciting bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education across Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, Texas, and Mississippi, with limited state-level activity. The code shows no relevant recent opportunities and should likely be reviewed for reclassification or verification against buyer intent.
