UNSPSC 50626320: Non GMO siberia tomato purees

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO siberia 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 50626320 Non GMO Siberia tomato purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes specialty tomato products, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct match to the abstract category name. The recent solicitations tagged with this code span a much broader range of consumable food products for institutional food service — frozen proteins, fresh and canned vegetables, dairy items, condiments, baking supplies, and food service consumables such as containers, napkins, and disposable trays. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily health and human services agencies (the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, which operates state supported living centers and state hospitals), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. These issuing bodies procure food and supplies for facility kitchens, cafeteria operations, canteen services, and nutrition programs serving residents, inmates, students, and staff. The work is tactical procurement — vendors respond to detailed line-item specifications with firm pricing, agree to FOB Destination delivery within seven to thirty days of order receipt, and maintain compliance with federal food and USDA standards, shelf-life requirements, and often Buy American or state-preference provisions.

Activity is concentrated in Texas (the Health and Human Services Commission, the Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and a State of Georgia procurement), and Oregon (the Department of Corrections). Recent representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to supply Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouse locations, due May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments; and Burke County Public Schools' sealed-bid food procurement spanning nearly 400 line items for five schools, due June 5, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (UNSPSC S2910000017145), due June 19, 2026, with a prior-period price of $13.75 per case and eligibility for Oregon-resident and Oregon-fabricated-goods preferences. These solicitations typically request responses within two to three weeks of posting and emphasize vendor capacity to serve multiple locations, meet delivery timelines, maintain product quality, and hold minimum insurance coverage of $500,000 to $1,000,000.
