UNSPSC 50466406: Canned or jarred cherry tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50466406 Canned or jarred cherry tomatoes is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable canned and jarred tomato products—primarily diced, stewed, sliced, whole, or halves formats—for institutional food service operations including state hospitals, correctional facilities, state supported living centers, senior services, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are diverse: Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Illinois state agencies, and the State of Georgia procurement office. Solicitations under this code typically bundle tomato products with broader food and consumable procurement, though tomatoes frequently appear as line items within larger IFBs or IWQs. Recent opportunities show canned tomatoes specified to meet USDA Grade B or better, with sodium content and shelf-life requirements commonly imposed. Delivery terms are almost universally FOB Destination with freight prepaid and included in unit pricing or separately detailed.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with the strongest signals from state-supported living centers and correctional systems. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB in June 2026 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a due date of June 19, 2026, offering Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-resident bidder preferences at 5 percent, with the previous purchase priced at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for consumable food products bundling tomatoes and other items—HHS0017872 and HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, and HHS0016792V2 covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Gwinnett County requested informal written quotes in October 2026 for shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools each issued comprehensive school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026 encompassing hundreds of line items with tomato products as components. These solicitations emphasize firm fixed pricing with limited price adjustments tied to verified market indices, compliance with Buy American and Child Nutrition standards, and delivery within 7 to 30 days of order placement.
