UNSPSC 50466413: Canned or jarred marvel striped traditional tomatoes

The variety of tomatoes known as marvel striped traditional tomatoes that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466413 Canned or jarred marvel striped traditional tomatoes is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement appears primarily as a line item in broad food service solicitations covering shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, and consumables for institutional feeding operations. State and local governments purchase canned tomatoes through food service contracts for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, senior services programs, and state hospitals. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, county social services departments, and independent school districts. Recent solicitations emphasize USDA Grade B or better specifications, compliance with FDA and USDA standards, minimum shelf life requirements (typically 12 months or more), sodium content limits, and delivery to central distribution centers or multiple school sites within specified timeframes.

Activity appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (sliced, diced, stewed, halves, or whole) due June 19, 2026, with previous pricing at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest and an eight-truck-load delivery requirement to Salem. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide, with one procurement encompassing 210 line items due March 19, 2026, and carrying a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia solicited food bids covering multiple categories with delivery to four school sites, due June 15, 2026. Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia, sought bids on nearly 400 line items for five schools with a June 5, 2026 response date. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas via the Comptroller's office, with an extended deadline of May 4, 2026. Canned tomatoes rarely appear as sole-source line items; vendors typically compete as part of comprehensive food service contracts where responsiveness to dozens or hundreds of specifications and delivery capacity across multiple sites are determining factors.
