UNSPSC 50436404: Dried organic brandywine tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50436404 Dried organic brandywine tomatoes is a Commodity code that captures specialty produce procurement, though recent state and local opportunities show little direct alignment with this specific item—instead, the code appears under broader food-service and school-nutrition solicitations that encompass general dried goods, beans, and fresh produce rather than branded heirloom tomato varieties. State and local governments buy under codes in this family when sourcing bulk food staples for institutional meal programs, particularly child nutrition services, correctional facilities, and school districts; the recent solicitations emphasize dried beans, fresh produce, and mainstream cafeteria staples rather than organic specialty items.

Recent opportunities span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and municipal nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs in 2026 for dried pinto and red beans (127,500 pounds due March 20, 2026, and 42,500 pounds due June 19, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts solicited an IFB for cafeteria food products across five TDCJ warehouse locations with response due May 4, 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools requested sealed bids for Master Grocery K-12 service to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (IFB due April 27, 2026); Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited over 900 grocery line items for child nutrition (response due April 29, 2026); and Douglas County School System in Georgia issued an RFP for fresh produce and eggs to serve 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026). Activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), Texas (city nutrition programs and TDCJ), Oregon (correctional system), Missouri (school districts), and Virginia (Fairfax County), with school nutrition programs and state correctional agencies as the dominant buyer segments. The code shows minimal procurement for branded heirloom or organic tomato varieties; sourcing activity focuses on commodity-grade dried goods, fresh produce, and cafeteria staples delivered under firm fixed-price contracts with strict nutritional and USDA-compliance requirements.
