UNSPSC 50616412: Canned or jarred Non GMO marmande super tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO marmande super tomatoes that have been canned or jarred 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 50616412 Canned or jarred Non GMO marmande super tomatoes is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable canned and jarred tomato products procured by state and local institutions for food service and nutrition programs. State and local governments purchasing under this code buy canned tomatoes in bulk quantities to supply institutional food services, including correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior centers, school nutrition programs, and state health services. The solicitations show demand for products meeting USDA Grade B or better, with specifications covering sodium content, shelf life, code dating, Country of Origin labeling, and compliance with FDA and USDA standards. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, departments of corrections, school districts, county boards of commissioners, and state comptroller statewide procurement divisions. Recent activity reflects a mix of single-item procurements and multi-item food service bids where canned tomatoes appear as one line item among dozens of food products.

The code sees recent activity primarily in Texas and Oregon, with secondary activity in Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, specifying USDA Grade B or better with sliced, diced, stewed, halves, or whole formats in cans or pouches, minimum 12-month shelf life, sodium content not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams, and delivery to Salem within 30 days of purchase order issuance; the prior purchase in February 2026 was $13.75 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumable products across state hospitals and supported living centers, encompassing 210 line items including canned and fresh vegetables with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years, due March 19, 2026. Texas also solicited food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and Texas procurement activity round out recent solicitations where canned tomatoes would fall within larger comprehensive food service bids.
