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, a Commodity code, covers canned tomato products—whole, diced, sliced, stewed, or halved—that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs and correctional and healthcare facility dining operations. State and local issuing bodies range across school districts (elementary through high schools), state correctional departments, state health and human services commissions operating supported living centers and state hospitals, and state veterans homes. School nutrition programs dominate recent activity, with districts procuring tomato products as line items within broader food supply contracts; correctional and healthcare facilities source tomato products both as standalone items and as components of comprehensive food procurement.

Recent activity clusters in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Missouri. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned tomatoes in January and June 2026 (approximately 7,616 cases each), applying Oregon-fabrication and resident-bidder preferences. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables (including canned goods) under multiple IFBs across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with historical contract values of $1.5 million to $4.5 million over multi-year terms. School districts including Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) bid food procurement packages encompassing canned vegetables as line items within larger RFPs and IFBs. The Illinois Veterans Home solicited weekly food orders by RFQ quarterly. Pricing in recent Oregon ITBs reflected historical reference points of $13.75 to $27.75 per case depending on product form and vendor. Buy American provisions appear consistently in school nutrition procurements; sodium-content limits (240 mg per 100 grams or per tablespoon) and minimum 12-month shelf life are standard specifications across correctional and state healthcare solicitations.
