UNSPSC 50436417: Dried organic roma vf tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50436417 Dried organic roma VF tomatoes (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The recent opportunities solicited under the code are for dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans — as well as broader food-supply categories including cafeteria products, CACFP meal components, and institutional kitchen supplies. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the City of Edinburg, Texas, are among the issuing bodies pursuing these procurements, predominantly through IFB and RFP notices. The work involves sourcing bulk dried legumes and food commodities for institutional meal programs serving correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and state-operated food services. Specifications emphasize USDA grading standards, food-safety compliance, triple-cleaning for dried beans, palletization requirements, bulk institutional packaging, and delivery to warehouse or distribution centers.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% Oregon-processing and Oregon-headquarters evaluation preference and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas, extended to May 4, 2026, with a mandatory pre-bid conference held March 26, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued an RFP for CACFP meal supplies serving 400 children daily with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and a 5% preference margin for Edinburg-based vendors. The code shows minimal alignment between its nominal description (dried organic roma tomatoes) and actual purchasing patterns; the recent solicitations indicate the code is being used to tag dried-legume and institutional-food procurements without connection to fresh or organic tomato products.
