UNSPSC 50416424: Organic tumbler tomatoes

The variety of organic tomates known as organic tumbler tomatoes

UNSPSC 50416424 Organic tumbler tomatoes is a Commodity code that describes fresh produce supply to institutional food service operations, primarily school nutrition programs. State and local governments procure organic and conventional fresh produce—including tomatoes, other vegetables, fruits, and eggs—through annual contracts with school districts, county boards of education, and state agencies to support child nutrition, fresh fruit and vegetable programs, and farm-to-school initiatives. Solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, domestic sourcing preferences, food safety traceability, and quality standards including shelf-life minimums and temperature-controlled delivery. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education across multiple states, with occasional state-level procurement; repeat buyers include Georgia school systems (Liberty County, Glynn County, Bulloch County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County purchasing cooperatively), Texas school districts (Northside Independent in San Antonio, McAllen Independent, Austin Independent), Florida school districts (Hillsborough County), and Missouri districts (Rockwood R-VI). Most opportunities are structured as annual line-item contracts with renewal options, firm pricing for 12 months with prospective adjustments tied to USDA market indices, and multi-vendor award capability.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. The Glynn County Board of Education issued IFB 27-02 for fresh produce (bid due April 14, 2026) covering 60 line items with weekly delivery to 16 schools; the Bulloch County School District posted an RFP for locally grown produce within 200 miles (due May 4, 2026) supporting a Farm to School program across 14 schools; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) solicited fresh specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program serving 18 elementary schools (RFP due March 11, 2026 with estimated annual budget of $600,000); Northside Independent School District (Texas) requested fresh produce for child nutrition (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026) emphasizing Texas-grown items through the Harvest of the Month program; Austin Independent School District issued RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages (due March 11, 2026) requiring Good Food Purchasing Program alignment and participation; and the Douglas County School System in Georgia posted RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two regions (due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two.
