UNSPSC 50606406: Frozen Non GMO cherry tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO cherry 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 50606406 Frozen Non GMO cherry tomatoes (Commodity) describes products state and local jurisdictions procure for institutional food service operations — specifically frozen cherry tomatoes grown without genetic modification. In practice, recent solicitations show this code is triggered when school districts, county social service departments, and state food-supply contracts call for produce and shelf-stable pantry items. The actual work encompasses line-by-line food bids for school lunch and breakfast programs, bulk food purchases for senior services, and statewide food-supply contracts where produce and protein items are bundled with grains, condiments, and paper goods. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include independent school districts managing National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program budgets, county boards of commissioners funding community services, and state-level purchasing offices aggregating food-supply across multiple agencies.
