UNSPSC 50606411: Frozen Non GMO green tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO green 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 50606411 Frozen Non GMO green tomatoes is a Commodity code that covers specialized frozen vegetable products sourced without genetic modification. State and local governments procure frozen green tomatoes primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations, where they serve as ingredients in prepared meals or component items in cafeteria supply chains. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are predominantly school districts and county school systems, with occasional activity from state departments procuring for institutional food service operations. These entities typically embed frozen produce purchases within broader food-supply or grocery-item solicitations that span multiple vendor categories and sourcing channels.

Recent activity shows concentrated procurement in Georgia and Missouri school districts. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) seeking fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts across two areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issued Bid 26-34 (posted March 22, 2026, due April 23, 2026) for fresh produce encompassing 72 items with deliveries to 60 school sites; the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026) across over 900 line items for the 2026-27 school year; the City Schools of Decatur in Georgia issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (posted April 16, 2026, due May 15, 2026); and Early County Board of Education in Georgia requested line-by-line food bids (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The code shows limited direct activity specific to frozen green tomatoes; most opportunities reference frozen produce categories without isolating this commodity as a line item.
