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 tracking a specialized dried-tomato ingredient for institutional food service. State and local governments procure dried tomatoes under this code primarily as a line item within broader school-nutrition and institutional meal programs, where they appear as components of processed foods, soups, sauces, and prepared dishes meeting nutrition standards for the National School Lunch Program and similar federally supported feeding services. The issuing bodies are school districts and county boards of education, along with state health and human services agencies operating institutional food-service operations. The code shows sparse recent activity; the most visible opportunities are consolidated grocery and fresh-produce RFPs and IFBs where dried tomatoes are one of many line items rather than the primary focus of solicitation.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. Representative opportunities include Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 RFP for over 1,100 line-item grocery items (due June 30, 2026) supporting the National School Lunch Program with Buy American provision requirements; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 11, 2026, historical value $1.5 million annually); Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026); and Pascagoula-Gautier School District's Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program meal-box solicitation (due April 29, 2026). Dried tomatoes appear as embedded line items in these consolidated food-service awards rather than as standalone commodities, suggesting limited standalone procurement volume and indicating that vendors should pursue this code as part of a broader institutional food-service capability rather than as a specialized-ingredient focus.
