UNSPSC 50426400: Dried tomatoes

The type of vegetable known as tomatoes that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426400 Dried tomatoes, a Class code, nominally covers dried and processed tomato products, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the code's stated scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code actually solicit dried beans (kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, black beans), institutional food service items including cafeteria supplies and meal-program ingredients, and general food products for correctional facilities and child-care programs. State and local governments are using this code to procure bulk dried legumes for institutional cooking and meal preparation, along with broader food-supply bundles that include proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and non-food kitchen items. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), municipalities (City of Edinburg, Texas), and specialized institutional food programs (Boys & Girls Club CACFP operations). The code does not appear to be driving significant procurement of actual dried tomatoes at the state and local level; the mismatch between code scope and actual buying suggests this code may be incorrectly tagged for these opportunities or sees minimal relevant activity.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued IFB S2910000017705 for dried black beans, triple-cleaned, with a due date of August 21, 2026, and a companion IFB S2910000017140 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, offering a combined 10 percent evaluation preference (5 percent for Oregon-fabricated goods and 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders); the ODOC procurement named an incumbent contractor, Intersect USA, at a historical price of $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries posted RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags with a response due October 9, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procuring through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across approximately 382 line items with an extended response due date of May 4, 2026, including proteins, dairy, grains, and staples for delivery to six TDCJ warehouse locations; the initial contract term runs through August 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies serving 400 children daily with a due date of August 4, 2026 and a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Illinois posted an IFB for quarterly weekly food orders under FY-27 IVHQ with a due date of June 26, 2026. Activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest; the code shows no recent opportunities from the Northeast or Upper Midwest.
