UNSPSC 50426427: Dried yellow perfection tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50426427 Dried yellow perfection tomatoes is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific dried tomato product, but recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows no alignment with that scope. The code appears in procurement records but does not correlate with the work actually being solicited by state and local governments. Recent opportunities tagged under this code involve dried beans (kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, black beans) and broader institutional food procurement for correctional facilities, child care programs, and educational institutions, but do not include dried tomatoes or tomato products. The issuing bodies span state corrections departments (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas), state educational and institutional purchasing divisions, and municipal governments, with solicitations structured as RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs for bulk food supply to institutional kitchens and meal programs.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, with procurement volumes ranging from weekly or quarterly recurring orders to annual contracts serving hundreds of institutional sites. Representative recent opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for 880 bags of kidney beans (due October 9, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026) with a historical unit price of $0.493 per pound and a 10% combined Oregon-preference evaluation credit, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products across 382 line items and multiple warehouse locations (response due May 4, 2026 with addenda extending the initial deadline). The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated commodity; the mismatch between the code name and actual solicitations suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local source data or a code that has become inactive for its original purpose.
