UNSPSC 50606407: Frozen Non GMO delicious tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO delicious 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 50606407 Frozen Non-GMO Delicious Tomatoes is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialized frozen produce items for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations under this code show school districts and state agencies sourcing frozen and fresh produce as components of broader food service contracts that emphasize USDA compliance, domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, and food safety certifications including HACCP plans and recall procedures. School nutrition programs represent the dominant buyer category, with solicitations also coming from state departments procuring for operations-wide food supply. The work spans line-item produce bids (apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, celery, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, onions, citrus fruits, potatoes) and frozen food contracts that bundle produce with dairy, grains, proteins, and prepared items; vendors must meet stringent delivery windows (typically 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday), temperature maintenance (33F to 40F for produce, zero degrees or below for frozen items), and compliance with Buy American provisions and state E-Verify requirements.

Georgia dominates recent activity, with the State of Georgia, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System all posting opportunities in the February–June 2026 window. Texas and Missouri school districts—Dallas Independent School District and Rockwood R-VI School District—represent secondary geographic concentration. Representative recent opportunities include Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 (February 4, 2026 due date, estimated $4.4 million for Area One covering 18 districts and $1.1 million for Area Two across 12 districts, fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative); Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 (April 23, 2026 due date, 72 fresh produce items across 60 school sites); Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (June 8, 2026 due date, 300+ food items including produce, dairy, and proteins for three schools); and City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods and grocery (May 15, 2026 due date, ten designated school sites with whole-grain, low-sodium, and zero trans-fat requirements). Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 of the following year with renewal options, and awards typically go to lowest responsive and responsible bidders on a line-item or lot basis allowing multiple vendors per contract.
