UNSPSC 50466426: Canned or jarred yellow pear-shaped tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50466426 Canned or jarred yellow pear-shaped tomatoes (Commodity) describes shelf-stable canned tomato products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, school districts, and county senior services programs. Recent solicitations show purchases of hundreds to thousands of cases annually, with specifications emphasizing USDA Grade B or better, minimum 12-month shelf life at delivery, sodium content limits, proper code dating, and Country of Origin labeling. The code sees activity from state health and human services departments, state corrections agencies, school districts, and county social services offices. Issuing bodies range from large multi-facility state systems (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections) to individual school districts and county nutrition programs, with repeat buyers evident among Texas HHSC facilities and state-supported living centers across multiple IFBs posted in the same fiscal cycle.

The code shows concentrated recent activity in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois.
