UNSPSC 50466420: Canned or jarred siberia tomato tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50466420 Canned or jarred Siberia tomato tomatoes, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable canned tomatoes in various forms (diced, sliced, stewed, whole, or halves) that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services operations. The scope encompasses compliance-heavy purchases that specify USDA Grade B or better, FDA/USDA standards, sodium limits, shelf-life minimums, proper labeling, and Country of Origin documentation. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state correctional departments, school districts, county boards of commissioners, and state agencies managing nutrition programs for dependent populations. Institutional food service operations are the dominant end users, with procurement driven by centralized purchasing for multiple facilities or multi-site delivery networks rather than individual vendor relationships.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division posted an IFB in June 2026 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a clarification deadline of June 12, 2026 and a bid due date of June 19, 2026 at 9:00 AM PST; the previous purchase in February 2026 was $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest, with the requirement representing eight full truck loads delivered 30 days apart to the Central Distribution Center in Salem, and Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-resident bidders receiving a 5% preference. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple food solicitations for state-supported living centers that include canned tomatoes as line items within broader consumables and food service supply bids, including IFB HHS0016792V2 issued May 2026 for supplemental food and consumables with a potential three-year value of $4.5 million and IFB HHS0017449 issued June 2026 for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. School nutrition programs in Georgia, including Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools, have posted comprehensive food bids encompassing canned vegetables and tomatoes as part of broader grocery solicitations. Volumes are substantial — institutional buyers order cases or truck loads with delivery cycles measured in days to 30-day intervals, firm fixed pricing for initial contract periods, and compliance certifications including HACCP plans, debarment verification, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1 million.
