UNSPSC 50475004: Canned or jarred organic tomatillo

The variety of organic nightshades known as organic tomatillo that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50475004 Canned or jarred organic tomatillo is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty canned vegetable products for food service operations. Recent solicitations under this code show demand for canned tomato products (whole, diced, stewed, sliced) meeting USDA Grade B or better standards, though the code's nominal scope names tomatillo specifically while actual recent procurements focus on standard canned tomatoes. State and local buyers soliciting under this category include state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and institutional food service operations. School nutrition programs represent the largest share of recent activity, driven by child nutrition federal funding requirements and Buy American sourcing mandates that favor domestic canned goods.

The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two recent canned-tomato solicitations (ITB S2910000016405 for approximately 1,904 cases of tomato paste due March 9, 2026, and ITB S2910000015837 for 7,616 cases of canned tomato products due February 9, 2026), both seeking products meeting FDA compliance, sodium limits not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams, and minimum twelve-month shelf life at delivery, with preference applied to Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-resident vendors and historical pricing ranging from $14.30 to $27.75 per case. Multiple Georgia school districts—including Liberty County Board of Education (IFB due April 29, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271 due June 15, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026)—have posted comprehensive food service procurements encompassing canned goods as line items within broader grocery and food supply bundles. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide for state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026; HHS0016792V2 due March 19, 2026) with historical contract values of $1.5 million to $4.5 million. Activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with occasional Illinois Veterans Home quarterly food procurements (RFQ 27497DVAQUINCB52821 due June 26, 2026).
