UNSPSC 50606401: Frozen Non GMO ailsa craig tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO ailsa craig tomatoes that have 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 50606401 Frozen Non-GMO Ailsa Craig Tomatoes is a Commodity code that nominally names a single produce item, but the recent opportunities posted under this code show little activity directly aligned with that specification. The recent state and local procurement records tagged to this code span much broader food service categories — general grocery items, fresh produce assortments, frozen foods, and comprehensive school nutrition supplies — rather than the specific frozen tomato product the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and state agencies (State of Georgia), with one large urban school district (Dallas Independent School District) in the mix. These jurisdictions source food through both direct bids and cooperative purchasing vehicles like the GEC Buying Cooperative.

Recent opportunities reflect school nutrition program procurement across multiple states. Georgia appears most active, with solicitations from Early County Schools (RFP due June 8, 2026), City Schools of Decatur (IFB due May 15, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (bid due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System (RFP due February 18 and March 4, 2026 for separate lots). Missouri and Texas school districts also posted in the window, including Rockwood R-VI School District (bids due April 29, 2026) and Dallas Independent School District (RFP due April 2, 2026). The State of Georgia itself issued separate solicitations for fresh produce (IFB due May 27, 2026) and general food supplies (due June 22, 2026). These procurements typically require firm pricing, HACCP compliance, Buy American sourcing, general liability insurance of $500,000 to $2,000,000, E-Verify authorization, and delivery to multiple school sites or central warehouses with no fuel surcharges. The code's actual activity does not track cleanly to frozen Ailsa Craig tomatoes specifically; vendors pursuing opportunities tagged to this code should verify the actual commodity scope in each RFP or IFB before bid preparation.
