UNSPSC 50426407: Dried delicious tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50426407 Dried delicious tomatoes is a Commodity code. State and local governments purchase dried tomato products as component ingredients and meal components for institutional food service operations, including school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and community care settings. Recent solicitations show this code appearing sporadically within broader food procurement efforts, often bundled with dozens or hundreds of other food line items rather than as standalone dried-tomato purchases. The issuing bodies pursuing work under this code span state corrections departments, school districts, and municipal food service operations serving children and inmates. The scope reflects institutional kitchen sourcing rather than wholesale distribution or retail-oriented procurement.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri based on recent opportunities, with the largest visible solicitations from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division and school districts in Fairfax County, Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, and Douglas County School System in Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple dried-goods solicitations (dried pinto beans in March 2026 and June 2026) that suggest standing institutional demand for shelf-stable dried food items. Representative recent activity includes the Texas TDCJ IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026, encompassing approximately 382 line items across proteins, grains, beverages, and vegetables with firm fixed pricing on FOB Destination terms to six Texas distribution points; and Rockwood R-VI School District's bid solicitation for grocery items 2026–2027 (due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items across beverages, condiments, prepared entrees, and produce with firm pricing for a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term. No solicitations identified dried delicious tomatoes as a named or emphasized category, indicating the commodity sits within larger food-supply contracts rather than standing as a category of procurement focus or market concentration.
