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 is a Commodity code used by state and local governments to procure preserved tomato products for institutional food service, most commonly through school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring canned tomatoes in bulk quantities as components of comprehensive food service contracts rather than as standalone line items, with products specified to meet USDA Grade B or better standards, sodium limits not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams, and minimum shelf life of twelve months.

State departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and school districts dominate procurement activity under this code. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple canned tomato solicitations in the recent window, including bids for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomato products (ITB S2910000016405, due June 19, 2026, with Oregon-fabricated goods receiving a 5% preference) and 1,904 cases of tomato paste (ITB S2910000016089, due March 9, 2026). Texas Health and Human Services Commission procures supplemental food and consumable products including canned goods for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide under IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) and HHS0016792 (maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years). School districts including Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia bundle canned vegetables—including tomatoes—into broader grocery or food service contracts. Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Illinois, with Oregon's correctional system and Texas's health and human services operations representing the most recent, largest-volume buyers. Canned tomato products typically represent one line item among hundreds in comprehensive food service RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs; standalone tomato-only solicitations remain uncommon outside correctional and state health facilities.
