UNSPSC 50466401: Canned or jarred ailsa craig tomatoes

The variety of tomatoes known as ailsa craig tomatoes that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466401 Canned or jarred Ailsa Craig tomatoes is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily as part of bulk food service supply contracts for institutional food operations, including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Recent solicitations show this code appearing within comprehensive food procurement RFBs and IFBs that bundle dozens or hundreds of line items rather than as standalone tomato purchases. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued the most targeted single-product solicitation, requesting approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (USDA Grade B or better, in sliced, diced, stewed, halves, or whole form) for delivery to its Central Distribution Center in Salem. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span a mix of state health and human services agencies, state correctional and corrections supply systems, county and municipal school districts, and county senior services operations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, having posted multiple consumables and food supply RFBs for state supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso. Procurement typically follows IFB or informal written quote (IWQ) processes, with F.O.B. Destination pricing and delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order receipt, depending on the issuing body's operational requirements.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) offered a prior purchase benchmark of $13.75 per case and applied Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) referenced a prior period value of $1.5 million and included canned tomatoes within its broader scope. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables via IWQ (due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issued an IFB for school nutrition food (due June 15, 2026) requiring domestically grown components under Buy American Act requirements. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21), and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia sought comprehensive school nutrition procurement across five schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026, opened June 8, 2026). Contracts typically run 12 months with renewal or extension options, price adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service data or Consumer Price Index verification, and mandatory compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, debarment certification, and liability insurance minimums.
