UNSPSC 50626312: Non GMO marmande super tomato purees

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO marmande super 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 50626312 Non GMO marmande super tomato purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged with this code show minimal alignment with tomato purees specifically—instead, the code appears to capture a much broader range of food procurement activity, including canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, and general grocery and food service supplies for state institutions, school districts, and public facilities. The code as currently deployed spans institutional food service contracting across correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, veterans homes, school nutrition programs, and state hospitals, covering everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to prepared entrees, dairy, proteins, and consumable supplies. The issuing-body mix reflects a fragmented procurement landscape: state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Georgia state agencies), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Muscogee County Schools), and public institutions (state supported living centers, state hospitals). No single buyer emerges as a repeat procurer; instead, activity is distributed across independent jurisdictions. Recent activity clusters most heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, suggesting geographic spread across multiple regions rather than concentration in a single state.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Invitation for Bids HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products supplying the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with NIGP classes spanning food service and canteen operations under IFB, with a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior contract period; the Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division's Invitation to Bid S2910000016405 (posted February 20, 2026, due March 9, 2026) for approximately 1,904 cases of tomato paste meeting USDA specifications for delivery to Salem, Oregon; Ben Hill County Schools' Invitation for Bid #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive food and supplies across multiple product categories serving four school locations with contract value capped at specified thresholds triggering debarment certifications; and the Rockwood R-VI School District's dual grocery procurements (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026) for both Net Off Invoice and general grocery items totaling approximately 1,100 line items across product categories, requiring electronic submission in NutriKids format with awards anticipated June 4, 2026. Pricing structures vary widely: some solicitations use firm fixed pricing for the entire contract period, others permit midterm adjustments tied to manufacturer price increases or USDA indices, and a minority employ cost-plus models. Payment terms cluster around Net 30 days from delivery or invoice, with some contracts extending to Net 40 and occasional 90-day post-delivery processing windows. Set-asides and preferences appear inconsistently across jurisdictions—Oregon applies 5 percent preferences for in-state fabrication and resident bidders, while most school districts and state agencies do not specify socioeconomic set-asides in their posted documents.
