UNSPSC 50596412: Dried Non GMO marmande super tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO marmande super 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 50596412 Dried Non GMO marmande super tomatoes is a Commodity code that captures specialty dried produce items, but state and local procurement activity under this specific code does not materialize in the recent opportunities dataset. The opportunities tagged with or adjacent to this code reflect a much broader food procurement pattern: state and local governments buy fresh and processed food products primarily through school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food service operations, with the vast majority of recent solicitations targeting fresh produce, bulk groceries, and prepared meals rather than specialty dried items. The issuing bodies span school districts of varying sizes, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, city departments, and county commissioners' offices. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases seeking grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education (IFB, due June 30, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 11, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education soliciting fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (IFB, due June 26, 2026); and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issuing an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated value of $17.8 million over three years.

Activity concentrates in school nutrition procurement, which dominates the recent opportunities: Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026); Bulloch County Board of Education (IFB, due May 4, 2026); Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (IFB, due April 23, 2026); Pascagoula-Gautier School District (IFB, due April 29, 2026); and Meriden Public Schools through the City of Meriden Purchasing Department (RFP 026-41, due February 25, 2026, with anticipated value of $3.1 million). Douglas County School System issued two consecutive RPFs for fresh produce and eggs (RFP SN 26-004, serving 30 districts with $4.4–$1.1 million estimated spend) and food supply and distribution (RFP 26-003, approximately $9 million annually for 25,500 students). Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham) and scattered across Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. The code itself shows minimal direct procurement signals; the underlying demand flows through broader grocery, fresh produce, and institutional food service categories where state and local bodies solicit on open, competitive bases with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, HACCP documentation, and delivery schedules tied to school calendars and operating facilities.
