UNSPSC 50466414: Canned or jarred minibel tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50466414 Canned or jarred minibel tomatoes (Commodity) covers shelf-stable canned tomato products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, primarily through health and human services agencies, correctional facilities, and school districts supplying cafeterias, dining facilities, and residential centers. The code appears in solicitations for bulk food supply contracts where canned tomatoes are one line item among dozens or hundreds in broader consumables procurements; the most recent and largest single-item solicitation under this code is the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better standards with no more than 240 mg sodium per 100 grams, delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem. State health and human services commissions—particularly in Texas—and school districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing across multiple fiscal-year consumables and supplemental food procurements for state supported living centers and state hospitals, and Georgia and Oregon school districts and correctional agencies also active in the market.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple overlapping consumables procurements since May 2026 covering state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso, the most recent being IFB HHS0018082 (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oct 16, 2026, bids due Oct 23, 2026 at 10:30 a.m.) for 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies for fiscal year 2027 operations at the Lufkin center with F.O.B. Destination delivery within seven days. The Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 (June 5, 2026, bids due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m.) is the largest single recent opportunity, requesting 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at approximately $13.75 per case (the prior February 2026 purchase price) with eight full truckloads to Salem and Oregon-fabricated or resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent. School districts including Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia, May 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia, May 2026) have solicited food products as part of comprehensive school nutrition program bids covering hundreds of line items across multiple food categories, with canned vegetables and tomatoes typically embedded within larger procurements rather than as standalone items.
