UNSPSC 50596415: Dried Non GMO oaxacan pink tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO oaxacan pink 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 50596415 Dried Non GMO Oaxacan Pink Tomatoes, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity directly aligned with the code's narrow product specification. State and local procurement opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect targeted purchasing of dried Oaxacan pink tomatoes; instead, they capture broad grocery and food service solicitations in which such specialty items might appear as line items within much larger supply categories. The issuing bodies across recent opportunities span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System), county governments (Hillsborough County), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and a city (Dallas). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, driven by Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content and USDA Child Nutrition Program compliance. The code does not appear to be solicited as a standalone item in current notices; rather, it would be positioned as a commodity option within comprehensive produce, grocery, or fresh food categories.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with recent solicitations from Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), Texas, Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, and Virginia. Representative opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), which solicits 76-plus grocery items for K-12 delivery across 45 schools; Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (26-003, due February 18, 2026) for approximately $9 million in annual food service across 32 schools; Meriden Public Schools' commercial groceries and USDA Foods procurement (RFP 026-41, due February 25, 2026) valued at approximately $3.1 million; and Savannah-Chatham County's fresh produce annual contract (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026) covering 72 produce items with estimated annual quantities reaching 21,125 cases for single items. Pursuing this code as a standalone specialty product is not supported by current procurement patterns; vendors should instead position dried Oaxacan pink tomatoes within broader commodity or fresh-produce bids issued by school districts and state agencies.
