UNSPSC 50626306: Non GMO cherry tomato purees

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO cherry tomatoes. 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 50626306 Non GMO cherry tomato purees, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement—specifically specialty tomato products for institutional food service. Recent state and local opportunities show limited direct solicitation of this specific commodity; instead, purchasing bodies are acquiring broader categories of canned and processed tomato products, fresh produce, and general food supplies where cherry tomato purees may be embedded as line items within larger grocery or food service contracts. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission have posted specifications for canned tomato products (whole, diced, sliced, stewed) meeting USDA Grade B or better, and school districts across Georgia and Missouri are soliciting food products covering canned goods and prepared items, but no recent opportunity explicitly names non-GMO cherry tomato purees as a standalone line item or primary focus.

Issuing bodies pursuing food procurement under codes adjacent to this commodity include state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs), large school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, and Douglas County school systems in Georgia and Missouri), and county boards of education. The geographic spread of recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs representing the largest concentration of issuing bodies. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016089 for tomato paste (response due March 9, 2026), and the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (response due April 27, 2026). The code shows no current isolated demand for non-GMO cherry tomato purees as a designated commodity; vendors pursuing this product line should expect to position it as a line item within broader food service supplier relationships rather than as a standalone bid category.
