UNSPSC 50596414: Dried Non GMO minibel tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO minibel 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 50596414 Dried Non GMO minibel tomatoes is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within school and institutional food procurement. State and local governments solicit dried minibel tomatoes as part of larger grocery and food-service contracts that supply school nutrition programs, state-supported living facilities, senior meal programs, and other institutional food operations. The work involves supplying a specific ingredient to educational and social-services institutions rather than selling standalone dried tomato products to retail or consumer markets. Issuing bodies include school districts (boards of education), county governments, and state health and human services commissions. School districts dominate recent solicitation activity, with both individual district RFPs and larger statewide or regional food-procurement vehicles posting opportunities that encompass dried tomato products as line items within multi-thousand-line grocery or fresh-produce contracts.

Recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) posted an IFB on June 30, 2026, for over 1,100 grocery line items including vegetables and specialty items, with deliveries to a central warehouse and school sites and a contract term of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, subject to Buy American requirements (51 percent domestic agricultural content) and the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, covering a prior-period value of $1.5 million and a contract term of September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year on June 10, 2026, with a June 26, 2026, deadline, spanning over 200 line items and three delivery locations. The UNSPSC code shows minimal recent standalone activity and appears to sit within larger institutional food-procurement solicitations rather than standalone dried-tomato contracts; suppliers should expect to encounter dried minibel tomatoes as a line item within comprehensive food RFPs and IFBs, not as a category driving its own procurement cycle.
