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, a Commodity code, represents a narrow specialty produce item that state and local governments rarely procure as a standalone product; recent activity shows no direct solicitations for dried organic black plum tomatoes specifically. The code sits within a broader constellation of fresh and processed produce purchasing by school districts, corrections departments, and child nutrition programs, but the recent opportunities block reflects active procurement of wider produce categories — fresh fruits and vegetables, dried beans and legumes, and comprehensive grocery supply — rather than this particular varietal or preservation method. State and local purchasing offices soliciting dried goods tend to specify them as line items within larger produce or grocery contracts rather than issuing dedicated RFPs for a single dried fruit product.

The geographic and issuing-body profile of recent activity in related produce procurement shows school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County School Systems in Georgia) and corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice) as dominant buyers of dried and fresh produce across Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon. These entities procure dried beans and legumes under ITB and IFB notice types — the Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs in March and June 2026 for dried pinto and red beans totaling approximately 170,000 pounds across contracts — but no posted opportunities in the dataset directly solicit dried organic black plum tomatoes. Buyers in this sector evaluate produce on lowest responsive-responsible pricing, compliance with USDA grade standards and food safety requirements, delivery logistics, and shelf-life certification. The absence of dedicated solicitations for this specific commodity suggests either light spot-purchase demand through standing agreements or procurement as a minor line item within master grocery contracts that do not flag the code individually.
