UNSPSC 50606409: Frozen Non GMO gardener's delight tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO gardener's delight 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 50606409 Frozen Non GMO gardener's delight tomatoes, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement—specifically frozen tomato products meeting non-GMO specifications. However, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reveal a significant mismatch: the solicitations are for broad food procurement portfolios, not frozen tomatoes alone. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote (IWQ 140229) sought approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables for senior services, with no mention of frozen produce. Early County Board of Education's June 2026 line-by-line bid encompassed 300+ food items (meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, fresh vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments) plus non-food supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The State of Georgia's May 2026 bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products was similarly broad-based. This code shows little relevant recent activity for the specific frozen non-GMO tomato product it nominally represents; the tagged opportunities reflect general food-service procurement rather than frozen specialty produce.

State and local issuing bodies active in this space include county governments (Gwinnett County), state departments (Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). Georgia represents the geographic concentration of the recent three opportunities. Respondents pursuing this code should verify whether opportunities are actually soliciting frozen tomato products or are misclassified general food bids, and consider whether the narrow product scope justifies tracking activity at the Commodity tier versus broader food-service categories.
