UNSPSC 50626310: Non GMO grape tomato purees

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO grape 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 50626310 Non GMO grape tomato purees is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable tomato products, canned vegetables, and related food service supplies for institutional meal programs. State and local government purchases under this code center on bulk consumables for facilities operating cafeterias and food service operations — state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. The code captures both the finished tomato products themselves and the food service supplies (containers, napkins, hairnets, straws, foil) that accompany procurement solicitations for institutional food. Issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services departments, school districts, county governments, and state correctional agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Georgia and Oregon school districts appear as repeat buyers in the recent record, with Texas operations spanning multiple state supported living centers and El Paso facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with delivery required within seven days of order at F.O.B. Destination; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes graded USDA Grade B or better (due June 19, 2026), with sodium content capped at 240 mg per 100 grams and 5% Oregon-vendor preference applied; Ben Hill County Schools' food bid (due June 15, 2026) for school nutrition across four locations with Buy American Act compliance required; and Burke County Public Schools' comprehensive grocery procurement for five schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026) covering nearly 400 line items with USDA standards and Child Nutrition meal pattern compliance. Texas HHS has also solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide (maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years) and food for El Paso State Supported Living Center (prior period value $1.5 million). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026) with delivery to the Senior Services Center. These solicitations reflect steady institutional demand with firm fixed pricing, short delivery windows (typically 7 to 72 hours), and compliance requirements including E-Verify, liability insurance, HACCP plans, and suspension-and-debarment certifications.
