UNSPSC 50436427: Dried organic yellow perfection tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50436427 Dried organic yellow perfection tomatoes is a Commodity code that nominally names a single dried-tomato product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect tomato procurement. Instead, the recent opportunities block shows solicitations for dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans), institutional food supply for correctional and child-care settings, and generic cafeteria food products. The code as tagged by issuing bodies maps to institutional bulk food procurement rather than to the specific tomato variety the code name describes. State and local governments buying under this code are correctional departments, state purchasing divisions, and city procurement offices acquiring staple dried proteins and food supplies for institutional meal service.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas. The Georgia Department of Corrections Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans with a due date of October 9, 2026, requiring delivery in 880-bag increments and all-inclusive pricing with no separate freight reimbursement. The Oregon Department of Corrections requested approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with bids due June 19, 2026, offering a combined 10 percent evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered bidders and a historical price point of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products spanning proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and staple items, extended via addendum to May 4, 2026, with awards made per line item to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder and a 1.5 percent SmartBuy administrative fee. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited proposals for CACFP meal program supplies including beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items serving approximately 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and evaluation criteria weighting cost at 30 percent. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement activity suggests systematic miscoding in state and local systems; pursue opportunities based on the actual solicitation scope, not the code descriptor.
