UNSPSC 50606400: Frozen Non GMO tomatoes

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO tomatoes that has been frozen 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 50606400 Frozen Non GMO tomatoes is a Class code covering frozen tomato products procured by state and local governments, primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. State and local buyers under this code seek frozen tomato inventory to support child nutrition services, with products typically requiring USDA compliance, HACCP documentation, food recall procedures, and adherence to nutrient specifications such as low-sodium formulations and zero trans fats. School districts represent the dominant issuing-body category, with recent solicitations from early 2026 spanning Georgia and Missouri school systems; additional activity includes state-level food service procurement (State of Georgia) and independent school districts in Texas. The scope extends beyond frozen tomatoes alone to encompass broader frozen-food and produce categories, reflecting how school nutrition programs package tomato products within larger food-supply contracts.
