UNSPSC 50606424: Frozen Non GMO tumbler tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO tumbler 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 50606424 Frozen Non GMO Tumbler Tomatoes (Commodity) describes shelf-stable frozen tomato products, though state and local solicitations under this code focus on broader food procurement that encompasses frozen vegetables as one line item among many. State and local governments purchase frozen tomatoes primarily through school districts and county social-service agencies buying food for meal programs and senior services. Solicitations typically bundle frozen tomatoes with other shelf-stable produce, canned goods, and proteins rather than as standalone line items. Issuing bodies include school districts operating lunch and breakfast programs, county purchasing offices buying food for community-services departments and senior centers, and state procurement agencies coordinating food supply across multiple departments. Awards typically go to lowest responsive and responsible bidders evaluated on per-unit pricing, with vendors required to provide references, maintain compliance with worker-verification and debarment rules, and deliver within short windows (often 72 hours of order receipt).

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of food items to the Department of Community Services (response due October 19, 2026), with delivery required to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026 and canned vegetables among the 35 line items specified. Early County Board of Education released an IFB for over 300 food items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program (response due June 8, 2026), with fresh and frozen produce, whole-grain breads, and fluid milk featured prominently; the contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with pricing held firm for 15 days from award and escalation permitted only if supported by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data and does not exceed 3%. The State of Georgia also solicited bids for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (response due June 22, 2026), though the full scope was provided only in an attached document.
