UNSPSC 50436414: Dried organic minibel tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50436414 Dried organic minibel tomatoes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it diverge substantially from the code's nominal scope. The opportunities in the block are almost entirely for dried legumes (kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans) and broad institutional food supply, not tomatoes. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice are procuring dried beans, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and pantry staples for institutional meal programs and correctional facilities. When state and local procurement offices tag opportunities under this code, they are purchasing bulk dried legumes and multi-category food items for high-volume food service operations—kitchens in prisons, schools, care facilities, and state agencies—not minibel tomatoes specifically.

The issuing bodies are state-level departments and correctional agencies, along with municipal and school-district food programs. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice dominate recent activity; the City of Edinburg, Texas, is also active with its CACFP meal program. Geographic spread concentrates in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois, with activity from June through October 2026. Representative opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for 880-bag increments of kidney beans due October 9, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitation S2910000017140 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% Oregon preference (5% for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon, 5% for in-state headquarters); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse locations, extended via addendum to May 4, 2026. The code shows limited relevance to tomato procurement and appears to be a misclassification in the state and local system.
