UNSPSC 50436405: Dried organic cherry belle tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50436405 Dried organic cherry belle tomatoes is a Commodity code that spans state and local procurement of packaged dried produce items for institutional food service, though recent solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity for this specific product line. The code nominally describes a single tomato variety in dried form, yet the most recent state and local opportunities tagged to it reflect much broader food procurement — school nutrition programs, correctional facility meal service, and child care food programs sourcing dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, fresh produce, grains, dairy, beverages, and supplies rather than dried tomatoes specifically. The issuing bodies are diverse, including state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, Georgia), large school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia; Douglas County in Georgia), municipal child care programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and cooperative purchasing consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois, with school nutrition programs representing the dominant use case.

Representative recent solicitations show the actual scope of purchasing under this code differs sharply from dried cherry tomatoes. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for approximately 382 food line items spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and condiments, with responses due May 4, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools solicited a Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323) with weekly delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens across Fairfax County, Virginia, with bids due April 27, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri issued an ITB for over 900 grocery line items for the 2026–27 school year with bid submission required by April 29, 2026 via NUTRIKIDS electronic system; the Douglas County School System in Georgia posted an RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined across two geographic areas, with proposals due March 4, 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00016233 for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans with bids due March 20, 2026. The code appears to be a misfiled or overly narrow taxonomy entry that does not reflect current state and local procurement activity for dried specialty produce items, with opportunities instead concentrated on bulk food supply contracts for institutional meal service.
