UNSPSC 50436400: Dried organic tomatoes

The type of organic vegetable known as organic tomatoes that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436400 Dried organic tomatoes is a Class code covering the procurement of dried legumes and specialty produce for institutional food service — but recent state and local activity under this code centers on dried beans (pinto, red, black, and kidney) rather than the abstract code name. State and local issuing bodies buying under this code include departments of corrections (Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, Texas), child-care food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and general institutional food procurement offices (Georgia Statewide Purchasing). The work involves sourcing bulk dried legumes meeting USDA grading standards and food-safety compliance (HACCP, FDA, Good Manufacturing Practice) for prison and correctional-facility kitchens, child nutrition programs, and institutional meal preparation, with delivery typically FOB destination to central distribution points or facility warehouses and pricing structured to include all transportation and handling on an all-inclusive basis.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a bid (RFQ, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans triple-cleaned to U.S. No. 2 grade or better, FOB destination to the ODOC Central Distribution Center in Salem within 45 days of purchase order receipt, with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered suppliers; the historical price was $0.493 per pound. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum from April 21) for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including dried beans, proteins, dairy, and staples to supply five geographic warehouse areas across Texas. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ (due October 9, 2026) for kidney beans delivered in increments of 880 bags with all-inclusive pricing. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited an RFP (due August 11, 2026, reposted August 4, 2026) for CACFP meal-program supplies including dried beans as one of five supply categories serving approximately 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 for bids within 5% of the lowest price. The State of Oregon also posted a bid (due August 21, 2026) for dried black beans, triple-cleaned, to USDA standards for institutional use by state agencies or educational institutions.
