UNSPSC 50466411: Canned or jarred green tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50466411 Canned or jarred green tomatoes (Commodity) covers preserved green tomato products that state and local governments procure as shelf-stable food inventory for institutional food service operations. Recent opportunities show this code attracting bids primarily from state health and human services agencies, county governments, and school districts that source bulk consumable foods for cafeterias, canteens, residential facilities, and nutrition programs. The solicitations reveal a mix of institutional buyers—Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities (state supported living centers), county boards of commissioners, school nutrition programs, and state corrections departments—purchasing canned and jarred tomato products as line items within larger food procurement packages rather than as standalone contracts. Vendors responding to these opportunities typically supply commodity-grade canned tomatoes alongside related proteins, vegetables, condiments, and food service supplies, with delivery to central distribution points or individual institutional locations within 30 to 72 hours of order placement on FOB Destination terms with prepaid freight.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with additional opportunities from Oregon and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned tomato solicitation (S2910000017145) in June 2026 requesting 7,616 cases with a prior purchase price of $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest; bids were due June 19, 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple food solicitations in the past five months (HHS0016792V2 in May covering 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; HHS0017449 in June for El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; HHS0018082 in October for Lufkin State Supported Living Center closing October 23, 2026). Georgia school districts and county governments have issued food bids throughout the spring and summer 2026 (Ben Hill County Schools in May, Burke County Public Schools in May, Gwinnett County in October for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods due October 19, 2026). The code shows moderate recent activity concentrated in large institutional food service operations where canned tomatoes function as a commodity input rather than as a differentiated product line.
