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 is a Commodity code that captures dried vegetable products, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct solicitation for dried tomatoes specifically. Instead, the recent opportunities reveal that state and local governments buy dried and canned vegetables as line items embedded within broader food-supply contracts for schools, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs. The City of Edinburg, Texas, for example, includes vegetables as one of five supply categories in its Child and Adult Care Food Program meal procurement (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicits canned and fresh vegetables as part of a cafeteria food products IFB (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026) covering 382 line items across proteins, grains, dairy, and produce. Issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), counties (Muscogee County School District), and child nutrition and correctional facilities. Most solicitations award on a line-item basis, permitting multiple vendors to supply different product categories based on lowest qualified pricing.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (TDCJ, City of Edinburg), Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Virginia (Fairfax County), with secondary activity in Missouri and Illinois. The representative opportunities show that dried and canned vegetables are purchased as components of larger food-supply contracts rather than as standalone commodities: the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services procurement (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026) encompasses over 900 line items; the Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000046, due February 18, 2026) estimates annual expenditure at approximately $9,000,000 across 32 schools; and the Muscogee County School District's produce ITB (PE55220NONST2026000000029, due April 27, 2026) covers 60 line items including vegetables delivered weekly. Contracts typically require firm fixed pricing for 12 months, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, and F.O.B. destination delivery to school sites or central distribution centers. No set-asides specific to disadvantaged vendors are identified in the recent solicitations, though bidders must provide insurance, debarment certification, and compliance documentation. The code shows activity but limited standalone demand for dried organic roma tomatoes; vendors pursuing this UNSPSC should monitor broader school nutrition and institutional food-supply procurements where vegetables appear as line items.
