UNSPSC 50416407: Organic delicious tomatoes

The variety of organic tomates known as organic delicious tomatoes

UNSPSC 50416407 Organic delicious tomatoes (Commodity) describes fresh produce supplied to state and local government agencies, school districts, and transit authorities — primarily tomatoes and related fresh vegetables procured for school meal programs, institutional food service operations, and child nutrition initiatives. The code appears in recent school nutrition solicitations across multiple states, though the source records show purchasing activity spans tomatoes as one line item within much broader fresh produce and grocery procurement efforts rather than tomato-specific contracts.

School districts and county school systems dominate recent solicitation activity under and adjacent to this code. Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) have all posted RFPs, ITBs, or RFQs for fresh produce and food service items between late February and late May 2026. Georgia leads in posting frequency, with at least seven school district produce procurement notices in the recent-opportunities block. State agencies, including the State of Georgia, have also solicited fresh produce broadly (IFB #4 2027-2026, posted April 20, 2026, due May 27, 2026). Tomatoes appear explicitly in several produce line-item lists — notably the Bulloch County and Glynn County solicitations specify tomato quantities and pack specifications. The Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) serves 30 school districts across two Georgia geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, representing the largest identified multi-district cooperative opportunity in the block. Most school nutrition contracts run July 1 through June 30 and carry automatic renewal rights for one to four additional one-year terms; pricing must remain firm for the initial term, with annual price adjustments permitted only after documented market increases (typically 3–5 percent thresholds tied to USDA or CPI indices) and supported by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service reports. Vendors must maintain HACCP certification, general liability insurance ($1–2 million per occurrence depending on jurisdiction), Buy American compliance, and compliance with federal school meal program regulations and state E-Verify requirements.
