UNSPSC 50436416: Dried organic red alert tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50436416 Dried organic red alert tomatoes is a Commodity code intended for institutional bulk food procurement, yet recent state and local solicitations under this code show little activity directly matching the nominal product scope. Instead, issuing bodies are soliciting dried beans of various types—kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans—for correctional facilities, food service programs, and institutional meal preparation. State agencies, correctional departments, and municipal food service operators dominate the issuing-body mix. The work involves procurement of bulk dried legumes meeting USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning specifications, and food-safety compliance for institutional cooking and distribution.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% combined preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors and a historical price point of $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict bid-format compliance requirements. The State of Oregon also solicited dried black beans, triple-cleaned, due August 21, 2026, for institutional use. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supplies due August 4, 2026, including dried beans as one component among beverages, paper goods, proteins, janitorial supplies, and nonfood products serving approximately 400 children daily. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations with response due May 4, 2026 after an addendum extension, encompassing 382 line items including dried beans as one category among proteins, grains, and produce. The code shows measurable recent activity but primarily in dried legumes outside the nominal organic red alert tomato specification.
