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 (Commodity) covers shelf-stable tomato products purchased by state and local institutional food-service programs, but recent solicitations show the code receives activity for general-purpose canned-tomato and processed-tomato procurement rather than non-GMO cherry-tomato purees specifically. State and local buyers use this code to source tomato-based products—canned tomatoes, sauces, and supporting food items—for state-supported living centers, corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Georgia), and county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners). Most recent activity clusters in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia, with facilities ordering canned tomatoes and tomato products as part of larger food-service supply contracts that often bundle proteins, produce, dairy, and consumable supplies into single-award or multi-line-item procurements.

The Oregon Department of Corrections issued the most directly targeted recent opportunity: IFB S2910000017145 posted June 5, 2026, soliciting approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (USDA Grade B or better, sliced, diced, stewed, halves, or whole) for delivery to its Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon, with bids due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 AM PST. That same state and its peer buyers also embedded tomato-product line items within larger food-service contracts—Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, bids due October 23, 2026) for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, and IFB HHS0017872 (posted August 11, 2026, bids due August 25, 2026) for supplemental foods at the same facility, both including sauces and prepared foods alongside fresh and processed vegetables. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #26271 posted May 19, 2026 (bids due June 15, 2026) for school nutrition covering fresh and frozen produce, canned fruits and vegetables, and related items across four school locations. The code shows material recent activity but the solicitations do not routinely specify non-GMO certification or cherry-tomato varietal requirements; opportunities center on cost-competitive bulk canned-tomato and tomato-sauce sourcing to support high-volume institutional feeding operations.
