UNSPSC 50416400: Organic tomatoes

The type of organic vegetable known as organic tomatoes

UNSPSC 50416400 Organic tomatoes, a Class code, encompasses fresh produce procurement by state and local public bodies for food service operations, park concessions, institutional cafeterias, and healthcare facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying fresh vegetables and fruits for multiple operational contexts — from school lunch programs to regional parks to healthcare coalitions — though the opportunities do not consistently restrict sourcing to certified organic product. The buying mix spans county parks and recreation divisions, school districts, state purchasing offices, and healthcare entities; school districts appear as repeat buyers, with Early County Board of Education seeking produce among a broader food-service RFQ and the State of Georgia posting an all-encompassing food and kitchen products bid that likely includes fresh produce as a line item.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast, with recent opportunities posted by Collier County (Florida), Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida), the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education (Georgia). Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 covering approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with pricing that includes packing and transportation and emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) due March 6, 2025 for food services at North Collier Regional Park that includes fresh food and beverage provision across concession facilities, with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 contract period with requirements for quality standards, delivery timelines, and volume compliance.
