UNSPSC 50436403: Dried organic black plum tomatoes

The variety of organic tomatoes known as organic black plum tomatoes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436403 Dried organic black plum tomatoes (Commodity) describes specialty preserved vegetables used in institutional food service and bulk meal preparation, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct solicitation for the exact commodity named. State and local governments do actively procure dried legumes and preserved food products for correctional facilities, educational institutions, and social-service meal programs, but the recent opportunities in the dataset are tagged to this code despite requesting kidney beans, pinto and red beans, black beans, and broad cafeteria food products rather than dried plum tomatoes specifically. The issuing bodies include state departments (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), state correctional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections), municipal governments (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state criminal-justice systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Work typically centers on bulk food supply for institutional feeding—correctional institutions, school meal programs, and workforce development food services—with rigid USDA grading standards, palletization and delivery specifications, and compliance with food-safety regulations (FDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice).

Recent activity appears concentrated in the South and West, with Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas each posting multiple opportunities since May 2026. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 RFQ for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026) with a 10% Oregon-sourced evaluation preference and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five geographic distribution points (extended to May 4, 2026); Georgia Correctional Industries' October 2026 RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (due October 9, 2026); and the State of Oregon's August 2026 bid for triple-cleaned dried black beans (due August 21, 2026). The code shows activity but a material mismatch between the commodity name (dried organic black plum tomatoes) and the actual goods being solicited; a business targeting this code should monitor whether future postings align with the named commodity or continue to misclassify legume and broad food-supply procurements.
