UNSPSC 50466422: Canned or jarred tigerella tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50466422 Canned or jarred tigerella tomatoes (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within institutional food procurement, where state and local governments source canned tomato products—including diced, sliced, stewed, whole, and halved varieties—for correctional facilities, state health agencies, school districts, and veterans' homes. Recent solicitations show demand across food service operations, though the specific tigerella variety appears less common than general canned tomato specifications in current state and local buys; most recent opportunities describe canned tomatoes by form and USDA grade rather than by varietal name. Issuing bodies span correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools), and state veterans' homes (Illinois Veterans Home). The code sees solicitation activity across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Missouri, with food-service-focused jurisdictions (particularly school districts and state correctional facilities) representing the dominant buyer mix for canned tomato products. Issuing bodies specify compliance with USDA Grade B or better standards, sodium limits of 240 mg per 100 grams, minimum 12-month shelf life at delivery, and FDA/USDA regulatory conformance as baseline requirements.

The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016405 on March 23, 2026, for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (eight truckloads) with a bid deadline of April 6, 2026, awarding based on lowest responsive bid and applying a 5% Oregon-fabricated/resident bidder preference. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products (including canned items) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a proposal deadline of July 13, 2026, using firm fixed unit pricing and cost-plus-index adjustments. Ben Hill County Schools issued IFB #26271 on May 19, 2026, for comprehensive food products including canned goods with a bid deadline of June 15, 2026, requiring Buy American compliance and invoicing within 30 days of acceptance. School district solicitations dominate the recent opportunity set, with most employing annual fixed-price or cost-plus-index models, firm pricing for initial contract periods, and delivery requirements to multiple school locations. Payment terms typically run Net 30 days from delivery and acceptance, with contracts commonly awarded on line-item basis to multiple vendors based on lowest responsive, responsible bids. No set-aside designations specific to this commodity code appear in the recent records; procurement is open to all qualified vendors meeting insurance, compliance, and specification requirements.
