UNSPSC 50596422: Dried Non GMO tigerella tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO tigerella 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 50596422 Dried Non-GMO Tigerella Tomatoes is a Commodity code. State and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct relevance; the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically calling for dried tigerella tomatoes or similar specialty produce items. Instead, recent opportunities in the broader fresh and processed produce space address school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply — categories that typically feature commodity-grade fresh produce, frozen vegetables, and processed staples rather than specialty dried tomato varieties. The code's narrow focus on a single non-GMO dried produce item does not align with the scope of recent state and local solicitations, which emphasize volume purchasing of staple vegetables, fruits, and commodity foods to meet USDA Child Nutrition Program or senior nutrition standards.

The few opportunities posted since January 2026 that touch produce procurement — including the Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce bid (IFB, due June 26, 2026), the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh produce contract (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), the Douglas County School System fresh produce and eggs RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026), and the State of Georgia fresh produce IFB (IFB #4 2027-2026, due May 27, 2026) — focus on fresh items (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables), with no mention of dried specialty varieties. School districts and state agencies in Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia dominate recent school nutrition procurement, but their specifications center on fresh, frozen, and basic processed categories meeting Buy American domestic sourcing thresholds and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition compliance. Dried non-GMO tigerella tomatoes do not appear in any posted bid scope.
