UNSPSC 50606421: Frozen Non GMO super beefsteak tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO super beefsteak 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 50606421 Frozen Non GMO super beefsteak tomatoes (Commodity) describes a narrow produce line item, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code—Gwinnett County's October 2026 request for shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables, the State of Georgia's May 2026 food and kitchen supplies bid, and Early County Schools' May 2026 National School Lunch Program sourcing—do not specifically solicit frozen tomatoes or tomato products. Gwinnett County's informal written quote (IWQ 140229) targets 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable products (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables) with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. Early County Schools' line-by-line food bid for the 2026–27 school year encompasses 300+ food items including meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains across three schools with domestic sourcing and whole-grain preferences, but does not itemize frozen tomatoes as a specific line.

The code sees activity from county purchasing offices, state food procurement, and school district food service programs across Georgia. Geographic concentration centers on Georgia (Gwinnett County, Early County Schools, and the State of Georgia) in the recent quarter, with no visible activity in other states in the posted opportunities. Neither the State of Georgia bid (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) nor the Early County Schools bid (PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026) provided line-item detail in their posted notices, making it unclear whether frozen tomato products were among the solicited items. The mismatch between the code's specific commodity name and the generalized food-purchasing activity suggests this code may be under-tagged or infrequently used for frozen produce in state and local procurement.
