UNSPSC 50436406: Dried organic cherry tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50436406 Dried organic cherry tomatoes is a Commodity code representing a narrow produce category that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and food service operations. The opportunities tagged under this code show that while the nominal scope is limited to dried organic cherry tomatoes specifically, the recent solicitations demonstrate broader fresh and dried produce procurement activity—school districts, state corrections departments, and child nutrition programs are sourcing a wide range of dried beans, fresh produce, and grocery staples as part of larger food service contracts. Only one opportunity directly references dried pinto beans (Oregon Department of Corrections S2910000016233 and S2910000017140); the remainder focus on fresh produce, grocery items, and prepared foods bundled into larger meal-service RFPs and ITBs. The code appears to capture a thin slice of state and local food procurement—the specific dried organic cherry tomato line item may be sourced as part of larger multi-category solicitations rather than as a standalone commodity, making pursuit of this code alone a limited opportunity unless paired with broader produce or grocery distribution capabilities.

State and local buyers in this space span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, and Muscogee County School District in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), and municipal child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia have shown recent activity between January and July 2026. Representative opportunities include the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (sealed bids due April 27, 2026) for weekly grocery delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens; the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services RFP (electronic bids due April 29, 2026) for over 900 line items across snacks, fruits, vegetables, breads, and prepared entrees; the City of Edinburg CACFP RFP 2026-017 (proposals due August 4, 2026) for food and nonfood supplies for child and adult care food service to 400 children daily; and the Oregon Department of Corrections dried pinto beans ITB (bids due June 19, 2026) for 42,500 pounds with state fabrication and resident preferences applied. These solicitations emphasize firm fixed pricing, compliance with USDA and food safety standards, and weekly or daily delivery schedules to multiple locations, reflecting the operational scale and logistical intensity typical of institutional food service.
