UNSPSC 50606413: Frozen Non GMO marvel striped traditional tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO marvel striped traditional 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 50606413 Frozen Non GMO Marvel Striped Traditional Tomatoes is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not map cleanly to the work actually being procured under it. Recent opportunities tagged with this code show state and local governments buying broad food-service bundles — shelf-stable pantry items, school lunch program ingredients, and cafeteria supplies — rather than frozen specialty tomatoes specifically. Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ procurement requests peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables; Early County Board of Education's June 2026 bid calls for meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, produce, grains, and non-food disposables to support the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs. The issuing bodies include county purchasing offices and independent school districts focused on food-service operations and nutrition programs.

Recent activity centers in Georgia, where Gwinnett County (October 2026 IWQ due October 19), the State of Georgia (May 2026 RFQ due June 22), and Early County Board of Education (May 2026 line-item bid due June 8) have posted opportunities. The Gwinnett County solicitation is representative of tactical food-service procurement: approximately 1,062 cases of 35 line items requiring delivery within 72 hours to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center, F.O.B. Destination, award to the lowest responsive bidder by unit-of-measure pricing. The Early County Schools bid illustrates the school-lunch profile — 300+ food items plus 60 non-food and paper supplies, domestic sourcing preference, USDA whole-grain specifications, firm prices for 15 days post-award with six-month escalation consideration, contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options. This code shows material disconnect between its nominal scope and recent procurement activity; buyers using frozen specialty tomatoes may not be tagging solicitations to this code.
