UNSPSC 50466417 Canned or jarred roma VF tomatoes, a Commodity code, covers whole canned tomato products that state and local governments buy for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show procurement spanning canned tomatoes in multiple forms—whole, diced, sliced, stewed, and halved—with USDA Grade B or better compliance, sodium limits, and twelve-month minimum shelf life. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, school districts, and county boards of education across multiple states. The mix reflects institutional bulk food purchasing for cafeteria operations and central food distribution, with school districts representing the highest concentration of recent activity.

Geographic spread spans the Pacific Northwest, South, and Midwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple recent solicitations for canned tomato products—an ITB for 7,616 cases due February 9, 2026, and another for the same quantity due June 19, 2026, both to the Central Distribution Center in Salem, with a historical reference price of $14.30 per case for whole tomatoes from Highland Wholesale. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumable products inclusive of canned goods for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential contract value of $4,500,000 over three years and line items spanning 210 products. School districts in Georgia—including Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Burke County, and Ben Hill County—have posted food procurement RFPs and IFBs covering canned goods as part of broader grocery line-item solicitations due in April and May 2026. Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy posted an RFQ for quarterly food orders including canned and prepared items due February 24, 2026. The code shows steady institutional demand driven by standardized meal programs with firm pricing required for contract periods and allowance for modest midterm adjustments only upon verified manufacturer price increases.
