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 shelf-stable and specialty produce items procured by state and local food service operations, including county social services departments, state purchasing offices, and school districts. State and local governments buy under this code primarily to supply institutional meal programs — senior services, school lunch and breakfast programs, and departmental food assistance. The recent solicitations show a mix of general food procurement where frozen produce appears as one line item among dozens, and specialized bids that emphasize domestic sourcing, nutritional specifications (low sodium, no added sugars, whole-grain options), and USDA compliance for child nutrition programs.

Recent activity centers in Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, delivered to Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville. The State of Georgia posted a broader bid for food, supplies, and kitchen products on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 response deadline. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for 300+ food items supporting National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs on May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026, with delivery to three school locations and emphasis on USDA specifications, Buy American provisions, and compliance with food recall procedures and biosecurity policies. The code shows modest recent activity, with opportunities concentrated in Georgia school districts and county social services, where frozen produce and other shelf-stable items are purchased as part of larger institutional food service contracts rather than as standalone line items.
