UNSPSC 50466412: Canned or jarred marmande super tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50466412 Canned or jarred marmande super tomatoes is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy primarily as a component of broader food service procurement for institutional dining, school nutrition programs, and supported living facilities. Recent solicitations show that canned tomatoes appear alongside dozens or hundreds of other food line items in general food supply contracts rather than as standalone purchases, indicating this code captures one narrow product category within expansive food service consolidation buys. The issuing bodies are school districts, state corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and state veterans homes across multiple states—all institutional food service operations. Specific recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitation for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (ITB S2910000016405, due June 19, 2026) and a second ODOC canned tomato procurement (ITB S2910000015837, due February 9, 2026 for approximately 7,616 cases), as well as the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026 at the El Paso State Supported Living Center) that includes canned goods among 210 line items. Additional representative activity includes Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) food bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026), the Texas HHSC statewide supplemental food procurement (IFB HHS0016792, with extended due date February 23, 2026 for $4,500,000 maximum potential value), and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026).

The code shows sustained activity across Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (HHSC statewide), and Georgia (school districts), with secondary activity in Illinois and Missouri. ODOC appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple canned tomato solicitations within a six-month window. Most recent solicitations specify USDA Grade B or better compliance, sodium limits not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams, and twelve-month minimum shelf life, with products supplied sliced, diced, stewed, halved, or whole in cans or pouches on FOB Destination terms. Oregon's February 2026 and June 2026 procurements applied five percent preferences for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-processed goods and five percent preferences for resident bidders. Canned tomatoes rarely command standalone RFPs; instead, they sit within large consolidated food buys spanning hundreds of line items where unit pricing and delivery logistics drive award decisions. This code's activity is robust but dispersed—it is a commodity line item, not a contracting vehicle.
