UNSPSC 50466417: Canned or jarred roma vf tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50466417 Canned or jarred roma VF tomatoes is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable, canned tomato products supplied to state and local institutions, primarily correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, school nutrition programs, and senior services operations. State and local buyers soliciting under this code procure canned tomatoes in bulk as component ingredients for institutional food service—mixed into prepared meals, sauces, and soups rather than served as standalone items. The issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, school district nutrition programs, county social services operations, and other public institutions operating institutional kitchens. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and its affiliates (including state-supported living centers and the Department of State Health Services) appear as repeat buyers; Oregon Department of Corrections and multiple Georgia school districts and county agencies also solicit regularly under this code.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145, posted June 5, 2026 with bids due June 19, 2026, sought approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (sliced, diced, stewed, halves, or whole format), with an eight-truck-load requirement and delivery to Salem, Oregon; the prior February 2026 purchase was $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest, establishing a recent market reference. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449, posted June 11, 2026 with proposals due July 13, 2026, included canned tomatoes within a broader supplemental food procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior period (September 2025–August 2026) and responses evaluated on specification conformance, past performance, and price. Smaller institutional buyers, including Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia, IFB #26271, bids due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia, bids due June 5, 2026), also source canned vegetables including tomatoes as line items within comprehensive school nutrition food bids. Delivery terms consistently require FOB Destination with freight prepaid, 30-day delivery windows standard, and sodium and shelf-life specifications uniform across solicitations.
