UNSPSC 50426418: Dried san marzano tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50426418 Dried san marzano tomatoes is a Commodity code that sees limited direct procurement activity in state and local government. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically naming dried san marzano tomatoes or dried tomato products. State and local governments do solicit tomatoes and tomato-inclusive food products through broader grocery and produce procurement vehicles — notably school nutrition programs, correctional institutions, and child care food service — but the source does not record any recent standalone buys for this specific dried variety. When tomatoes appear in recent solicitations, they are embedded in general fresh-produce contracts (such as the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for 72 fresh produce items, or Muscogee County School District's ITB 26-017 covering approximately 60 produce line items), dried-staple procurements (such as Oregon Department of Corrections' calls for dried pinto and red beans), or comprehensive grocery buys that span protein, grain, and vegetable categories with no line-item focus on tomatoes alone. The geographic jurisdictions active in food procurement — Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Virginia, and Missouri school districts and state agencies — do not show targeted demand signals for this Commodity code.

The absence of recent activity under UNSPSC 50426418 suggests that dried san marzano tomatoes, if purchased by state and local buyers at all, are acquired either as subordinate line items within broader grocery contracts negotiated at the Family or Class level, or are sourced through cooperative purchasing vehicles or blanket agreements that do not generate standalone solicitation records. Business development professionals should monitor higher-level produce and specialty food codes and maintain relationships with institutional food service buyers — particularly school districts, correctional systems, and CACFP child care programs — but should not expect dedicated procurement cycles under this specific Commodity code in the near term.
