UNSPSC 50626311: Non GMO green tomato purees

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO green 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 50626311 Non GMO green tomato purees is a Commodity code covering specialty tomato products for institutional food service operations. State and local governments purchase canned and processed tomato products — including whole, diced, sliced, and stewed tomato preparations — through this code to supply school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, health and human services institutions, and veteran care operations. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies across multiple jurisdictions and facility types actively procuring tomato-based ingredients as line items within broader food supply contracts. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission have posted bids for canned tomato products meeting USDA Grade B or better standards with firm shelf-life and sodium specifications, alongside school districts in Georgia and Missouri that embed tomato products within comprehensive grocery and produce procurement cycles. Pricing remains firm throughout contract periods, with delivery typically required FOB Destination within 30 days of order placement.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and Texas, with secondary activity in Georgia and Missouri school systems. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, solicitation S2910000017145) requiring USDA Grade B or better in multiple forms with sodium content not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams and 12 months minimum shelf life, evaluated on lowest responsive bid with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences of five percent each. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables including canned tomato products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), with firm fixed unit pricing and delivery to multiple qualified ordering entities across Texas. Broader school nutrition procurements in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District) embed tomato purees and canned tomato products within comprehensive grocery line-item bids. No recent opportunities specifically isolate non-GMO green tomato purees as a standalone product line; the code shows activity only as part of larger canned-goods and processed-vegetable categories within institutional food service contracts.
