UNSPSC 50466403: Canned or jarred black plum tomatoes

The variety of tomatoes known as black plum tomatoes that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466403 Canned or jarred black plum tomatoes, a Commodity code, captures state and local purchasing of processed tomato products for institutional food service, with recent solicitations showing strong demand across correctional facilities, health and human services institutions, school districts, and veterans' homes for canned tomatoes in multiple forms (whole, diced, sliced, stewed, halved) meeting USDA Grade B or better standards and complying with FDA sodium limits. State and local governments procuring under this code include departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, school districts, and veterans' homes; Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers, with school districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia also sourcing canned tomato products as part of broader food service contracts that include this commodity alongside fresh produce, proteins, and other staples.

Recent opportunities span multiple states with notable concentration in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for canned tomatoes in February 2026 (S2910000015837, due February 9, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases) and June 2026 (S2910000016405, due June 19, 2026), with the June solicitation specifying approximately 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case from the prior purchase in February 2026 and applying Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences of five percent each; Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple food procurement solicitations including HHS0017449 and HHS0016792 covering supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with canned tomatoes embedded within broader 210-line-item food product categories; and school district food bids in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools) routinely specify canned tomato products as line items within annual grocery or food supply contracts. Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy and Illinois Department of Corrections also source canned products through quarterly food orders. Most procurements use ITB, IFB, or RFP notice types with response windows of two to four weeks; awards typically go to lowest responsive, responsible bidders with firm fixed pricing for initial contract terms and price adjustments limited to specific formulas (CPI, USDA reporting, third-party market indices) in renewal periods.
