UNSPSC 50416403: Organic black plum tomatoes

The variety of organic tomates known as organic black plum tomatoes

UNSPSC 50416403 Organic black plum tomatoes is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty fresh produce items for institutional food service. Recent opportunities reveal that this code does not appear in recent school district and government solicitations; instead, school nutrition programs and state agencies are procuring fresh produce broadly under general produce categories that encompass tomatoes alongside apples, carrots, peppers, lettuce, and other staples rather than seeking organic black plum tomatoes as a discrete commodity line item. School districts and state nutrition programs specify general produce requirements with standard varieties and pack sizes, with occasional references to product specifications emphasizing USDA compliance, food safety, and domestic sourcing, but the source materials show no recent solicitations targeting organic or specialty heirloom tomato varieties.

State and local food service procurement at the produce level is dominated by school districts and state departments purchasing through RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs, with issuing bodies including Early County Board of Education, Northside Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) through the GEC Buying Cooperative. These jurisdictions solicited produce contracts in February through May 2026 with response dates ranging from early March through late May, typically for school year July 2026 through June 2027 performance. Georgia and Texas account for the largest concentration of recent activity. The procurement emphasis rests on cost competitiveness, HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, domestic sourcing preferences, and delivery reliability to multiple school sites, with contracts often awarded on a line-item basis to multiple vendors. No evidence in the source supports active demand for organic black plum tomatoes as a specialized procurement category.
