UNSPSC 50426402: Dried alicante tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50426402 Dried alicante tomatoes, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader food supply and grocery procurement by schools, corrections departments, and social service agencies, but none specifically solicit dried alicante tomatoes or tomato products of any kind. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (not tomatoes); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products spanning proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and canned vegetables but did not specify tomato products; and multiple school districts across Texas, Virginia, Missouri, and Georgia have posted RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, grocery staples, and meal-service supplies without tomato line items appearing in the available specifications. The City of Edinburg, Texas (CACFP meal program) and Fairfax County Public Schools (Master Grocery K-12) solicited diverse food categories but again no dried alicante tomatoes. The code shows little relevant recent activity.

Without recent solicitations naming dried alicante tomatoes or close substitutes, geographic concentration and issuing-body patterns cannot be reliably characterized from this source. The broader food-supply procurement activity under which this code sits is geographically dispersed across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon, with school districts, state corrections departments, and municipal child nutrition programs as primary buyers. However, the absence of tomato-specific opportunities in the available records suggests that state and local governments either procure dried tomatoes infrequently, source them under broader grocery or produce contracts without itemizing them separately, or do not tag such purchases to this specific commodity code.
