UNSPSC 50626325: Non GMO yellow cocktail tomato purees

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO yellow cocktail 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 50626325 Non GMO yellow cocktail tomato purees, a Commodity code, describes specialty tomato products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and senior services operations. In practice, recent state and local solicitations rarely specify non-GMO yellow cocktail tomato purees as a line item; the code sits within a broader landscape of canned and processed tomato procurement where jurisdictions request bids on tomato products by general category (canned tomatoes, diced, stewed, sliced, or whole) with USDA Grade B or better as the typical standard, sodium limits, shelf-life minimums, and Country of Origin labeling. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions operating supported living centers and state hospitals, county school nutrition programs, and county senior services departments. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections emerge as repeat buyers of tomato-based products and broader food-service consumables in the recent record.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary presence in Oregon and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated food products with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with a prior purchase reference of $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive school nutrition food products across four schools (due June 15, 2026) with Buy American Act compliance required; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including sauces and canned vegetables for senior services (due October 19, 2026). Delivery terms are consistently FOB Destination with freight prepaid, quality certifications required, and response timelines typically seven to thirty days from posting.
