UNSPSC 50466423: Canned or jarred tiny tim tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50466423 Canned or jarred tiny tim tomatoes (Commodity) covers canned tomato products—including whole, sliced, diced, and stewed forms—that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health agencies. The work solicited under this code consists of bulk supply contracts for food service operations, where vendors quote firm pricing on cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better, FDA compliance, sodium limits, and minimum shelf-life requirements, with delivery on FOB Destination terms to centralized distribution centers or school sites. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and school districts—both individual districts and cooperatives purchasing on behalf of multiple jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show school nutrition programs as the dominant buying category, though correctional and state-supported living-center food services also appear regularly.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two canned-tomato ITBs (S2910000016089 in January 2026 for 1,904 cases due February 9, 2026, and S2910000015837 in February 2026 for 7,616 cases due June 19, 2026), establishing Oregon as a repeat buyer with substantial volume. School districts in Georgia—including Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County—have posted comprehensive grocery and produce solicitations (RFPs and IFBs) with response dates between late March and late June 2026, many covering food categories that include canned goods. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (HHS0016792 and HHS0017449, with bids due in February, March, and July 2026). Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy posted a quarterly food RFQ (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) and an earlier RFQ for the March-June 2026 quarter. School districts across Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Georgia source canned goods as line items within broader grocery and food-service-distribution contracts. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in any recent opportunity. Contract values where disclosed range from approximately $52,000 to $9 million annually depending on scope and customer base, with initial terms of one year and renewal options extending three to five years.
