UNSPSC 50426419: Dried shirley tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50426419 Dried shirley tomatoes is a Commodity code showing little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities in the source are tagged with this code but center on general grocery procurement, fresh produce, dried beans, and food service distribution — not dried shirley tomatoes specifically. The City of Edinburg, Texas RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program items, the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026), and the Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services grocery solicitation (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026) all reflect institutional food procurement at scale, but none isolate dried shirley tomatoes as a line item or focus area. The mismatch between the commodity code's narrow specificity and the broad-based food service work actually being solicited suggests either mis-tagging in the source data or minimal state and local demand for dried shirley tomatoes as a standalone procurement line.

State and local food service demand concentrates among school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Rockwood R-VI, Douglas County), state corrections and institutional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois IVHQ), and municipal child nutrition programs. Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois. Institutional buyers are consolidating suppliers around broad categories — fresh produce, dried legumes, master grocery contracts, and food distribution services — rather than sourcing individual dried-tomato products. If your firm supplies dried shirley tomatoes to food manufacturers or processors, this code is unlikely to drive state and local public procurement pipeline activity. If you bid into institutional food service, pursue the broader grocery and produce codes where the actual volume and frequency of solicitations occur.
