UNSPSC 50606410: Frozen Non GMO grape tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO grape 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 50606410 Frozen Non-GMO Grape Tomatoes is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty frozen produce items procured by state and local school nutrition programs and state agency food services. The recent opportunities show school districts and state agencies soliciting frozen vegetables and fresh produce as components of comprehensive school lunch and breakfast program supply chains, though the specific frozen non-GMO grape tomato item itself does not appear as a standalone line item in the posted solicitations. Instead, the code reflects state and local demand for frozen and fresh produce aggregated within broader food service RFPs and IFBs that include dozens to hundreds of line items spanning fresh vegetables, fruits, frozen items, and supplementary groceries. Issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts and county school systems (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas ISD, Douglas County School System) and state agencies (State of Georgia), with school nutrition programs driving the bulk of recent activity. School districts typically bundle produce procurement across fresh and frozen categories to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, emphasizing whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, HACCP certification, Buy American sourcing, and domestic product preferences where feasible.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary volume in Texas. Representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (due June 8, 2026) soliciting line-by-line bids across 300+ food items plus non-food supplies with firm pricing and weekly Monday-through-Friday delivery to three schools; the State of Georgia's IFB Fresh Produce IFB #4 2027-2026 (due May 27, 2026) for fresh produce supply to state operations; the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for Frozen Foods and Grocery items (due May 15, 2026, with optional pre-bid April 29, 2026) covering frozen and grocery products for the 2026-2027 school year across ten school sites; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026, now closed) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million across two geographic areas. Contract periods typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options of up to three additional years, pricing remains firm for the full term with escalation only on documented wholesale market increases, and vendors must carry minimum general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, comply with E-Verify and Buy American provisions, and maintain HACCP or equivalent food safety certification.
