UNSPSC 50426426: Dried yellow pear-shaped tomatoes

The variety of tomatoes known as yellow pear-shaped tomatoes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426426 Dried yellow pear-shaped tomatoes is a Commodity code that in practice sees minimal recent state and local solicitation activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly requesting dried yellow pear-shaped tomatoes; instead, state and local buyers posting under related food commodity codes are actively procuring dried beans (kidney, black, pinto, and red), fresh and canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and complete cafeteria supply bundles for correctional facilities, schools, child care programs, and institutional food service operations. When state and local jurisdictions do solicit dried vegetable products, they typically bundle them within broader institutional food supply RFQs, IFBs, or RFPs rather than issuing standalone commodity purchases for a single dried tomato product line.

The issuing bodies across recent bean and food-service opportunities include state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia Correctional Industries), state purchasing offices (Oregon, Georgia, Illinois), and municipal or specialized-district food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas; Boys & Girls Club operations). Geographic activity clusters in the South (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with Texas showing the highest recent volume across multiple institutional buyers. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issuing an IFB on May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum to May 4, 2026) for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items for TDCJ warehouse distribution across five geographic regions; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an RFQ due June 19, 2026 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans at $0.493 per pound historical pricing; and Georgia Correctional Industries issuing an RFQ due October 9, 2026 for kidney beans in 880-bag increments. No recent solicitations explicitly target dried yellow pear-shaped tomatoes as a standalone commodity or within multi-item bundles.
