UNSPSC 50626327: Non GMO yellow perfection tomato purees

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO yellow perfection 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 50626327 Non GMO yellow perfection tomato purees is a Commodity code that encompasses canned and processed tomato products — including tomato paste, tomato puree, diced tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, and whole canned tomatoes — procured by state and local food service operations, corrections departments, school nutrition programs, and health and human services facilities to support meal preparation and food production. State and local governments buy these products as components of bulk food procurement for institutional feeding programs rather than as stand-alone consumer items. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and state departments (corrections, health and human services) executing annual or multi-year food supply contracts for cafeteria operations, state-supported living centers, and correctional facilities. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with multiple districts across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon issuing IFBs or RFPs for comprehensive food procurement that includes canned tomato products as line items within broader grocery or produce categories.

Recent opportunities show canned tomatoes appearing as components within larger food bids rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016089 on February 20, 2026, for approximately 1,904 cases of tomato paste (due March 9, 2026) and ITB S2910000015837 on January 26, 2026, for approximately 7,616 cases of assorted canned tomato products (due February 9, 2026), both specifying USDA Grade B or better and delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792 in February 2026 and reissued HHS0017449 in June 2026 for supplemental food and consumable products across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with canned goods as line items within the 210-item scope; the prior-period historical value for HHS0017449 was $1.5 million. School districts including Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) issued comprehensive food procurement RFPs and IFBs between March and June 2026 encompassing hundreds of line items, including canned tomatoes, for annual contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Activity concentrates in Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Texas, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs the primary buying driver. The code shows consistent procurement demand but as part of larger, multi-category food supply bundles rather than as tomato-specific standalone opportunities.
