UNSPSC 50436419: Dried organic shirley tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50436419 Dried organic shirley tomatoes is a Commodity code that does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity shown in the source materials. The twelve recent opportunities reflect solicitations for general grocery and produce supplies across school districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs—including dried pinto and red beans, fresh produce (apples, bananas, vegetables, leafy greens, eggs), cafeteria food products spanning proteins and frozen entrees, and weekly food orders. None of the opportunities explicitly specify dried organic shirley tomatoes as a line item or procurement requirement. The issuing bodies span state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state agencies (Illinois, Georgia), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), municipal child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and cooperative purchasing arrangements (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). The geographic spread includes Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and multi-state cooperative vehicles.

The code shows little relevant recent activity; the solicitations captured under this UNSPSC tag address dried beans and fresh produce generally, not the specific commodity of dried organic shirley tomatoes. State and local procurement offices are actively buying commodity staples for school meal programs and institutional food service, but the source materials do not support demand for this specific dried tomato variety. If pursuing this code, validate whether your product—dried organic shirley tomatoes—appears as a requested line item in individual district produce or grocery RFPs and RFQs, which often include detailed item lists in attached specifications. The broader commodity code for dried vegetables or dried produce may be a more accurate classification for outreach purposes.
