UNSPSC 50425004: Dried tomatillo

The variety of nightshades known as tomatillo that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50425004 Dried tomatillo (Commodity) rarely appears in recent state and local procurement activity; the code shows little relevant solicitation volume. Recent opportunities posted under this code actually concern dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto-red bean blends—procured for institutional food service, correctional facilities, and child care programs, rather than tomatillos. The scope of work under related dried-legume procurements spans bulk institutional foodstuffs for meal preparation in correctional facilities, state agencies, school districts, and child care providers, with deliveries FOB destination in 45-day windows or weekly fulfillment cycles and compliance with USDA grading, FDA food-safety, and HACCP standards. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state departments of corrections purchasing divisions, city food-service programs, and state agencies operating child care facilities.

Recent opportunities cluster in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections sought approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with bids due June 19, 2026, under a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with delivery included in all-inclusive pricing and bids due October 9, 2026; the State of Oregon posted a bid request for triple-cleaned dried black beans graded to USDA standards, due August 21, 2026; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including dried legumes and other staples, with responses due May 4, 2026, after an Addendum No. 2 extension. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and the State of Illinois each solicited weekly or quarterly food orders under child care and institutional programs. No significant procurement volume under the tomatillo code itself is evident; the recent opportunities represent a code mismatch.
