UNSPSC 50426409: Dried gardener's delight tomatoes

The variety of tomatoes known as gardener's delight tomatoes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426409 Dried gardener's delight tomatoes is a Commodity code. State and local governments do not appear to be actively procuring dried tomatoes under this code; the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for dried tomatoes of any variety. The few dried-produce procurements in the dataset target dried pinto and red beans for correctional facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections), not tomatoes. Most activity under food-service codes in the current environment flows instead to broad grocery and produce supply contracts serving school districts, child nutrition programs, and institutional food service operations. The code sees little relevant recent activity and does not map to current state and local demand signals.

The near-term procurement focus in food service operates at higher tiers—master grocery supply (Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12, Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services), fresh produce (multiple school districts and correctional facilities in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Oregon, and Virginia), and institutional cafeteria food products (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School districts and state agencies are actively sourcing proteins, dairy, grains, vegetables, fruits, beverages, and shelf-stable staples on term contracts running 12 to 36 months. Issuing bodies include large state departments (Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas), county school systems (Fairfax County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Rockwood R-VI), cities (Edinburg, Texas), and state-operated correctional facilities. Recent RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs with response dates spanning March through August 2026 show competitive sealed-bid and price-based awards on line-item or consolidated bases. Set-asides for Oregon-processed goods, local-vendor preferences, and small-business classifications appear in select procurements but are not universal. This code sits outside that mainstream activity and warrants a skip unless your firm holds a dried-tomato supply relationship ready to bid opportunistically.
