UNSPSC 50466427: Canned or jarred yellow perfection tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50466427 Canned or jarred yellow perfection tomatoes is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable canned tomato products — typically whole, diced, sliced, stewed, or halved forms in various can or pouch sizes — procured by state and local food service operations including state health and human services agencies, correctional facilities, school districts, and county social services departments for use in institutional dining, canteens, and food distribution programs. The work is straightforward procurement of branded or equivalent canned tomato inventory with firm, fixed unit pricing, FOB Destination delivery terms, and compliance with USDA grading standards (typically Grade B or better) and FDA labeling requirements. Issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services commissions (particularly Texas HHSC), state departments of corrections, school districts, and county social services agencies—repeat buyers on food service contracts rather than one-time purchasers.

Recent activity spans Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB on June 5, 2026 (due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better with sodium not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams, delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem, with the prior February 2026 purchase priced at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest; Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders each received a 5 percent preference. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple food procurement IFBs encompassing canned tomatoes as line items within broader consumables solicitations for state supported living centers (HHS0018082 posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026; HHS0017872 posted August 11, 2026, due August 25, 2026; HHS0016792V2 posted May 19, 2026, due March 19, 2026, with up to $4.5 million potential value over three years). School districts and county social services departments in Georgia have also solicited canned vegetables and tomato products as part of comprehensive food service bids (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Gwinnett County). Vendors must meet sample submission timelines, provide proof of specification conformance, maintain minimum shelf life (typically 12 months remaining at delivery), and include proper code dating and country-of-origin labeling; delivery windows are generally 7 to 30 days from purchase order issuance.
