UNSPSC 50466407: Canned or jarred delicious tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50466407 Canned or jarred delicious tomatoes is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable canned tomato products—diced, sliced, stewed, whole, or halves—for institutional food service operations including state-run facilities, school districts, and county agencies. The code sees steady demand across state health and human services departments operating supported living centers and hospitals, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. Scope of work centers on bulk purchases of USDA Grade B or better canned tomatoes meeting FDA standards with minimum shelf life requirements, typically 7,616 to substantial multi-case volumes delivered to central distribution or facility locations on FOB Destination terms. Issuing bodies span Texas Health and Human Services Commission, state departments of corrections, school districts, and county boards—recurring buyers that manage institutional food service across multiple facilities statewide. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing as a repeat buyer for multiple state-supported living centers and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice managing procurement across five warehouse regions.

The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division posted the most directly relevant recent opportunity: an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (IFB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences of 5% on evaluation, delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem within 30 days of purchase order issuance, and a prior-purchase reference price of $13.75 per case from February 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple concurrent food and consumable solicitations for Lufkin and El Paso State Supported Living Centers (IFBs HHS0018082 and HHS0017449) incorporating canned tomatoes and related food products within broader consumable bundles; the El Paso solicitation (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) referenced a historical annual spend of $1.5 million across 210 line items and allows price adjustments tied to the Consumer Price Index. School district activity appears in Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), both soliciting comprehensive school nutrition food bids that include canned vegetables and tomato products among hundreds of line items. Vendors responding to these opportunities must meet Buy American Act compliance (school districts), provide firm pricing, maintain 24/7 recall accessibility through HACCP plans, carry liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1 million, and submit references for similar contracts within the prior five years.
