UNSPSC 50406514: Minibel tomatoes

The variety of tomates known as minibel tomatoes

UNSPSC 50406514 Minibel tomatoes is a Commodity code that state and local governments rarely procure directly by this specific variety. Recent activity under the code shows school districts, state procurement offices, and regional educational cooperatives actually soliciting broad fresh produce categories—apples, carrots, tomatoes in all forms, peppers, lettuce, and other vegetables—for child nutrition and institutional food service rather than minibel tomatoes as a line-item purchase. The code appears to be a placeholder in state and local taxonomy, mapped to generalized produce RFPs that do not reference minibel tomatoes by name or distinguish heirloom or specialty tomato varieties.

Recent solicitation activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas school districts and state agencies. Georgia school nutrition programs dominate the opportunity stream: Dougherty County, Bulloch County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Henry County, Bryan County, and Bartow County have all issued produce bids in March through May 2026 requesting sealed bids or RFPs for mixed fresh produce with delivery to multiple school sites. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple IFBs for bulk vegetables including carrots, white potatoes, and sweet potatoes for institutional canning and food service, with response dates in March and June 2026. School districts in Texas—notably Northside Independent School District (San Antonio) and McAllen Independent School District—issued RFPs for fresh produce for child nutrition in February and March 2026 requiring proposals by early March. Head Start of Greater Dallas and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) solicited produce for federally funded child nutrition programs. No solicitation names minibel tomatoes, and the code sees activity primarily under generalized tomato line items embedded in institutional produce procurement. If your firm supplies specialty or heirloom tomato varieties, pursue opportunities under broader produce codes or work directly with school nutrition directors to position minibel varieties as part of mixed-item bids; the code itself does not signal dedicated minibel procurement at the state and local level in 2026.
