UNSPSC 50466425: Canned or jarred yellow cocktail tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50466425 Canned or jarred yellow cocktail tomatoes is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable canned tomato products that state and local governments procure primarily for food service operations at correctional facilities, state supported living centers, schools, senior services, and other institutional campuses. The scope encompasses standard canned tomato varieties—whole, diced, stewed, sliced, and halves—supplied in compliance with USDA Grade B or better standards, with specifications typically calling for minimum 12-month shelf life, sodium content limits, proper code dating, and Country of Origin labeling. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple facilities. Recent opportunities show that institutions source tomato products as line items within broader food service RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs rather than as standalone single-product procurements, bundling them with dozens or hundreds of other food and consumable items.

The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division posted an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, representing eight full truck loads with delivery to Salem, Oregon, and offering Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-resident bidder preferences of 5 percent; the prior purchase in February 2026 was $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each solicited food procurement bids in May and June 2026 that included canned tomatoes as line items within comprehensive school nutrition procurements. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs in May, June, and August 2026 for food and consumable products serving state supported living centers and state hospitals that encompassed canned vegetables including tomatoes. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued an IWQ for food items including canned vegetables due October 19, 2026. Recent activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with standout repeat activity in Texas (state health and human services), Georgia (counties and school districts), and Oregon (corrections). The code shows active institutional food service procurement across multiple states; however, canned yellow cocktail tomatoes appear as line items within larger food service bundles rather than as standalone commodity solicitations, limiting direct pursuit opportunities to vendors positioned to supply comprehensive food service catalogs.
