UNSPSC 50606412: Frozen Non GMO marmande super tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO marmande super 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 50606412 Frozen Non GMO Marmande Super Tomatoes is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific variety of frozen tomato product, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show no tomato-specific demand. Instead, the code has been applied to broad food service procurement across school districts and state agencies — primarily general grocery, frozen foods, fresh produce, and eggs for child nutrition programs. The actual work being solicited includes line-by-line food bids encompassing hundreds of food items (meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments), frozen and fresh produce supply, eggs, and ancillary non-food items such as cleaning supplies and paper products. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System all soliciting under this code in recent months. State agencies—specifically the State of Georgia—have also issued procurement notices for fresh produce and general food supplies. These solicitations are structured as competitive bids with responses required through electronic portals (Bonfire, NUTRIKIDS) and emphasize USDA compliance, food safety certification (HACCP plans), Buy American provisions, and strict product specifications including whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and domestic sourcing preferences.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with Georgia showing the heaviest volume—the State of Georgia issued solicitations for general food supplies (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) and fresh produce (PE68504NONST2026000000006, due May 27, 2026), while the City Schools of Decatur sought frozen foods and grocery items via IFB (PE77310NONST2026000000018, due May 15, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System bid fresh produce (BID2634, due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System issued dual RFPs for food distribution ($9 million annually, due February 18, 2026) and fresh produce/eggs serving 30 districts ($5.5 million total estimated spend, due March 4, 2026). Outside Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items via NUTRIKIDS electronic bid (due April 29, 2026 at 9:45 a.m. CDT), and Dallas Independent School District in Texas issued an RFP for various food products not available through main commodity bids (due April 2, 2026). Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, require firm pricing for the contract period with escalation clauses tied to USDA or third-party market indices, mandate minimum general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million, and reserve the right to award to multiple vendors on a line-item basis. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a single tomato variety) and actual solicitation scope (full-service food provisioning) suggests either broad tagging of child nutrition procurement or category misalignment in the source system.
