UNSPSC 50416418: Organic san marzano tomatoes

The variety of organic tomates known as organic san marzano tomatoes

UNSPSC 50416418 Organic san marzano tomatoes is a Commodity code representing a single produce line item, yet the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no direct solicitations for organic san marzano tomatoes specifically. Instead, the code appears to be tagged on broad fresh produce and food service contracts where tomatoes—typically conventional rather than organic varieties—appear as one line item among dozens or hundreds of products in mixed-commodity school nutrition and institutional food service procurements. State and local buyers issuing these opportunities include school districts (Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Northside Independent School District in Texas, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Bulloch County School District in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Glynn County Board of Education in Georgia, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, Austin Independent School District in Texas, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), a state department of education (State of Georgia), and a regional cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). These jurisdictions purchase fresh produce as part of larger child nutrition programs, farm-to-school initiatives, or general school nutrition contracts.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the mismatch between the commodity code and actual procurement scope. Early County Board of Education issued an IFB (due June 8, 2026) for line-by-line food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, encompassing approximately 300+ food items where tomatoes appear as one vegetable among many. Bulloch County School District issued an Invitation for Proposal (due May 4, 2026) for fresh, locally-grown produce within 200 miles of the district, listing 24 produce items including tomatoes but emphasizing local sourcing and farm-to-school programming. Austin Independent School District issued RFP 26RFP034 (due March 11, 2026) for fresh produce and a la carte beverages, requiring vendors to supply multiple produce lines while participating in the Good Food Purchasing Program. Muscogee County School District issued ITB 26-017 (due April 27, 2026) for approximately 60 produce line items including tomatoes on a markup-above-USDA-index pricing model. Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with scattered procurement in Florida and Missouri. The code shows little targeted demand for organic san marzano tomatoes as a discrete product line; instead, tomatoes appear as commodity-level line items in institutional food service contracts where conventional varieties predominate and organic certification is not specified or required.
