UNSPSC 50606416: Frozen Non GMO red alert tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO red alert 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 50606416 Frozen Non GMO red alert tomatoes is a Commodity code describing a narrowly defined agricultural product; however, recent state and local solicitations show minimal purchasing activity aligned specifically with this code. The few opportunities posted do not directly solicit frozen non-GMO red alert tomatoes as a discrete line item. Instead, jurisdictions are procuring frozen tomato products and fresh produce as components of broader food service aggregations. State and local buyers—primarily school districts and state departments—are consolidating food purchasing into composite RFPs and IFBs that lump produce, frozen goods, dairy, and proteins under single solicitations rather than itemizing frozen tomatoes separately. This aggregation pattern reflects the logistics of school nutrition programs, which source through food service distributors and composite commodity bids rather than single-SKU procurements.

School districts and state agencies across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas dominate recent activity, with multiple school systems (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Dallas Independent School District) and the State of Georgia issuing RFPs and IFBs for food products in early 2026. The Douglas County School System issued a cooperative procurement through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined (February 2026, due March 4, 2026), and a separate RFP for main-line food supply and distribution services with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (January 2026, due February 18, 2026). The City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with a due date of May 15, 2026. Dallas ISD issued an RFP for various food products not available through main commodity bids (February 2026, due April 2, 2026). While frozen products and produce appear across these solicitations, none target frozen non-GMO red alert tomatoes as a standalone commodity. Prospective vendors should monitor school nutrition procurement channels and state food service cooperative vehicles, but should not expect dedicated opportunities for this narrowly specified product line in the near term.
