UNSPSC 50606422: Frozen Non GMO tigerella tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO tigerella 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 50606422 Frozen Non GMO tigerella tomatoes is a Commodity code that names a single specialized produce item, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows little connection to frozen tigerella tomatoes specifically. Instead, the eight opportunities posted since January 2026 are broad food service solicitations for school districts and state agencies procuring comprehensive grocery and produce portfolios—fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and supplies—to support school nutrition programs and state operations. The issuing bodies are entirely school districts and state agencies: Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System (Georgia), Dallas Independent School District, and the State of Georgia. School districts dominate the recent solicitations, typically seeking line-item bids or requests for proposals to stock child nutrition services across multiple school sites for the 2026-2027 school year. The scope of work involves delivery of hundreds of food items—not specialized frozen heirloom tomatoes—with vendors competing on price, quality, compliance with USDA standards, HACCP certification, food recall procedures, Buy American provisions, insurance minimums (commonly $1 million to $2 million general liability), and adherence to school nutrition program dietary standards such as whole-grain requirements, low-sodium formulations, and elimination of artificial additives.

The geographic concentration is entirely Georgia and Missouri, with Georgia school districts and state agencies posting seven of eight opportunities (Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia) and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri posting one. The most substantial recent opportunities include Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services with an estimated annual expenditure of $9 million (due February 18, 2026), Douglas County's GEC Buying Cooperative RFP SN 26-004 for Fresh Produce and Eggs serving 30 school districts with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending (due March 4, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items solicitation covering over 900 line items for school nutrition (due April 29, 2026), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce bid for 72 produce items across 60 schools (due April 23, 2026). The code as titled does not appear to reflect current procurement practice; bidders should monitor school district nutrition procurements in target geographies rather than search specifically for frozen tigerella tomatoes.
