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 (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within state and local government food procurement, specifically canned tomato products in various forms—sliced, diced, stewed, halves, or whole—supplied to institutional kitchens, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and school districts purchasing canned tomatoes as components of larger food supply contracts; the product appears consistently in bid documents as a line item within broader food procurement rather than as a standalone commodity. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri). The code's scope aligns with institutional bulk food purchasing where canned tomatoes serve as a base ingredient for food service operations across correctional, medical, and educational facilities.

Geographic activity centers on the Pacific Northwest and South, with the Oregon Department of Corrections appearing as a repeat buyer. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two canned-tomato solicitations in early 2026: an ITB for approximately 7,616 cases due February 9, 2026 (S2910000015837), with an incumbent reference price of $14.30 per case from Highland Wholesale, and a second ITB for the same quantity due June 19, 2026 (S2910000017145), with the prior February purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest; both required USDA Grade B or better, sodium content not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams, and minimum 12-month shelf life. Texas HHSC procurement for supplemental food and consumable products to state hospitals and supported living centers has included canned goods within broader line-item bids with potential contract values up to $4.5 million over three years. School district nutrition programs in Georgia and Missouri incorporate canned tomatoes within comprehensive annual grocery procurements, typically evaluated on lowest responsive bid or best value. The code shows consistent activity but represents a component item rather than a primary procurement focus; vendors pursuing this category should position canned tomatoes within broader institutional food supply capabilities.
