UNSPSC 50606404: Frozen Non GMO brandywine tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO brandywine 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 50606404 Frozen Non GMO Brandywine Tomatoes is a Commodity code that covers procurement of specialty frozen produce items meeting non-GMO standards. State and local governments purchase under this code as part of broader food service operations, though recent solicitation activity shows the code itself attracts minimal direct procurement volume — the recent opportunities block contains no isolated bids for frozen brandywine tomatoes specifically. Instead, frozen tomatoes and similar specialty produce appear as line items within larger food service solicitations encompassing dozens or hundreds of products. School districts and state agencies issue the majority of solicitations in this family, with school nutrition programs dominating the buyer mix across purchasing arrangements that run July through June annually and commonly include renewal options extending three to five years.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce bid (72 line items across fresh and processed produce, sealed bids due April 23, 2026, IFB format), the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two geographic areas (estimated annual spend $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively, sealed proposals due March 4, 2026), and the Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items procurement comprising over 900 line items including produce, with electronic bid submissions due April 29, 2026. School districts consistently require HACCP plans, food safety compliance, Buy American provisions, and general liability insurance of $500,000 to $2,000,000; pricing must remain firm for the contract term, with midterm adjustments only on documented cost increases. Deliveries to schools or central warehouses occur Monday through Friday during specified morning and early afternoon windows, and payment terms run 30 to 90 days after delivery.
