UNSPSC 50626324: Non GMO tumbler tomato purees

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO tumbler 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 50626324 Non GMO tumbler tomato purees is a Commodity code representing canned and processed tomato products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, primarily school nutrition programs and corrections facilities. Recent solicitations show buyers purchasing canned tomatoes in bulk — whole, sliced, diced, or stewed forms — meeting USDA Grade B or better standards with sodium limits and minimum shelf-life requirements, alongside broader food procurement that includes tomato paste, purees, and related tomato-based products as line items within larger food and consumable buys.

School districts dominate the recent issuing bodies, with multiple Georgia school systems (Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Burke County Public Schools) and Missouri's Rockwood R-VI School District all soliciting food products in the past four months; state agencies and corrections departments also procure under this code, including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs representing the largest and most frequent buyer segment.
