UNSPSC 50426401: Dried ailsa craig tomatoes

The variety of tomatoes known as ailsa craig tomatoes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426401 Dried ailsa craig tomatoes (Commodity) covers specialty dried tomato products, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect purchases of ailsa craig tomatoes specifically. Instead, the few opportunities posted show state and local buyers soliciting dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans — for institutional food service, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the State of Illinois have all issued bids for dried beans in bulk quantities suitable for institutional cooking and meal preparation. The issuing bodies span state agencies, state correctional systems, and municipal government entities. When present, specifications reference USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning requirements to remove debris and contaminants, moisture-content limits, and compliance with FDA and HACCP standards. Deliveries are typically palletized for bulk institutional use, with FOB destination terms and inclusive pricing that incorporates transportation and fuel surcharges.

Recent activity is concentrated in Oregon and Georgia, with one opportunity in Illinois and one in Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% evaluation preference applied for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon and bidders headquartered in Oregon; the historical purchase price was $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA as of August 2025. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments with an October 9, 2026 response date (IFB 92100ERFQ0020612027). The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supplies including beverages and food products with a local-vendor preference for City of Edinburg vendors within 5% of the lowest bid price. The code shows little recent activity under its nominal product scope; buyers seeking dried beans represent a mismatch with ailsa craig tomatoes as a specialty ingredient.
