UNSPSC 50436423: Dried organic tiny tim tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50436423 Dried organic tiny tim tomatoes, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct demand for this specific item. State and local governments acquire dried specialty tomatoes almost exclusively as part of broader food service operations—primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care food programs—rather than as standalone line-item procurements. The few opportunities tagged with this code or related dried-produce categories reflect purchasing patterns driven by meal production at scale: cafeteria systems serving hundreds of daily participants, CACFP-compliant food programs for children in care, and prison food operations. When dried specialty vegetables do appear in recent state and local RFPs, they are typically one commodity among hundreds listed in comprehensive food-supply solicitations, priced and evaluated as part of a total-cost portfolio rather than independently. Issuing bodies spanning this activity include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal child-care operators (City of Edinburg, Texas). None of these bodies issue dedicated solicitations for dried tomatoes; instead, they tag generalist food-service RFPs or IFBs with multiple commodity codes when specialty dried items are included in specifications.

Geographic concentration is diffuse across recent activity, with Georgia school districts (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County) and Texas corrections and municipal programs appearing most frequently in the dataset. Oregon Department of Corrections procurement for dried beans and other bulk starches, and Illinois state food operations, indicate multistate but fragmented demand. Representative recent opportunities include Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services (RFP, due April 29, 2026) procuring over 900 grocery line items for the 2026–27 school year; Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) seeking master grocery supply across 45 schools and distribution kitchens; and Douglas County School System through the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) seeking fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts with estimated spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by area. These solicitations establish multi-vendor supply chains for produce and staples but do not isolate dried organic tomatoes as a distinct procurement target. Opportunities in this code tier carry minimal standalone pursuit value; success requires positioning dried specialty tomatoes as a value-add component within broader food-service or cooperative-purchasing responses rather than as a primary business line.
