UNSPSC 50626322: Non GMO tigerella tomato purees

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO tigerella 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 50626322 Non GMO tigerella tomato purees, a Commodity code, does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in recent solicitations. The code nominally addresses a specific tomato variety and processing method; however, the recent opportunities linked to this code involve broad procurement of canned tomato products, fresh produce, and general food service supplies that do not match the puree specification or non-GMO/tigerella variant requirement. The State of Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (sliced, diced, stewed, halves, or whole) meeting USDA Grade B or better, and the State of Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental and consumable food products serving state hospitals and supported living centers, neither of which targets purees or non-GMO tigerella varieties specifically. The Douglas County School System in Georgia and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia have posted RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive school nutrition food supply covering hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, and prepared foods—again, general procurement categories rather than specialty tomato products.

Recent opportunities span state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and school districts across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Virginia, with procurement volumes ranging from individual canned-goods orders of 1,904 to 7,616 cases to comprehensive multi-category school nutrition contracts estimated at $4.4 million to $9 million annually. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with multiple districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, and Rockwood R-VI School District) issuing IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce, grocery items, and food supply services with July 2026 through June 2027 contract periods. The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to non-GMO tigerella tomato purees and warrants careful scope verification before pursuit.
