UNSPSC 50406512: Marmande super tomatoes

The variety of tomates known as marmande super tomatoes

UNSPSC 50406512 Marmande super tomatoes is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevance to the nominal product scope. State and local governments soliciting fresh produce for school nutrition programs, child care, senior services, and institutional food service are buying tomatoes as one line item among dozens in broad fresh-produce categories, not specialty heirloom varieties. The actual procurement is for mainstream produce delivery to schools, correctional facilities, and nutrition programs — apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, broccoli, onions, potatoes, and standard tomato forms (sliced, whole, canned) — with quality standards driven by USDA Child Nutrition Program compliance, HACCP certification, and Buy American Act domestic-sourcing requirements. Issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Northside Independent, Austin ISD, Hillsborough County, Savannah-Chatham, McAllen ISD, and others across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut), state criminal justice agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county education boards, city school systems, and specialized nutrition programs (Head Start, senior services). Pricing is structured as unit or per-pound quotes, with delivery included FOB destination; contracts typically run one school or fiscal year with optional renewals of one to four years.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Henry County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, and state-level solicitations), Texas (TDCJ, Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, Northside ISD, and statewide procurements), and Florida (Hillsborough County), with additional activity in Connecticut, Missouri, and a multi-state cooperative. Representative recent opportunities include the Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with a response deadline of July 29, 2026, requiring local sourcing within 400 miles of Wisconsin and delivery of ready-to-eat, pre-processed produce; Northside Independent School District RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 117 San Antonio campuses five days weekly, due May 7, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's bulk carrot procurement (IW241979-A) for 1,200 tons, due March 17, 2026, with Texas veteran-owned and Texas-produced set-asides; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia, with proposals due March 4, 2026 and estimated Area One spending of approximately $4.4 million. The code sees sustained activity but lacks distinctiveness — tomatoes appear as commodity line items in institutional food procurement, not as a specialized product category commanding premium or craft-market positioning.
