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 (Commodity) does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code procure dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans—for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state institutional food service, not dried tomatoes. Georgia Correctional Industries has posted an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, specifying 880-bag increments with all-inclusive pricing and strict specification compliance; the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, requiring triple-cleaned product at U.S. No. 2 or better grade with FOB delivery to Salem and a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation credit (5% for Oregon fabrication, 5% for Oregon headquarters); and the State of Oregon issued a separate bid for dried black beans, triple-cleaned to USDA standards, due August 21, 2026. The mix of issuing bodies spans state correctional departments (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), state procurement offices (Oregon, Texas), and city school districts and child-care food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas RFP for CACFP meal service due August 4, 2026, covering five supply categories including dried protein products for 400 children). The TDCJ procurement for cafeteria food products through the Texas Comptroller spans multiple warehouse locations and includes dried staples among 382 line items across proteins, grains, and specialty foods.

Activity concentrates in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 dried-bean solicitation included a historical price of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA and required triple-cleaned, palletized delivery with a one-year minimum shelf life. Georgia Correctional Industries enforces strict specification-sheet formatting (prohibiting "comply," "yes," checkmarks, or ditto marks) with electronic PDF submission and all-inclusive freight pricing. The Edinburg CACFP procurement weights cost at 30%, qualifications and experience at 25%, technical approach at 25%, and menu quality and nutritional value at 20%, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 (5% within lowest-bid threshold). The code shows no recent activity for dried organic brandywine tomatoes specifically; mismatch between the nominal code name and the actual solicitation scope—all dried legumes rather than tomatoes—signals either a tagging error or commodity classification divergence that warrants clarification before pursuing.
