UNSPSC 50476402: Canned or jarred organic alicante tomatoes

The variety of organic tomatoes known as organic alicante tomatoes that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50476402 Canned or jarred organic alicante tomatoes is a Commodity code covering packaged tomato products—primarily canned and jarred varieties in all forms (diced, stewed, whole, sliced, halves)—that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations including correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, senior services programs, and state hospitals. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers are purchasing tomato products as components of larger food service contracts rather than as standalone line items, though the Oregon Department of Corrections issued a dedicated 7,616-case canned-tomato procurement in June 2026 specifying USDA Grade B or better with sodium content not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams and minimum 12 months shelf life at delivery. State health and human services agencies, departments of corrections, school districts, and county nutrition programs are the primary issuing bodies, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and multiple Georgia school districts appearing as repeat buyers in the recent opportunity record. Issuing bodies range from state correctional and health agencies to county schools and senior services programs, all sourcing food through competitive sealed-bid IFBs or informal written quotes (IWQs) for multi-item food service consolidations.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia, with recent opportunities spanning the period from May through October 2026. Representative recent procurements include the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, which applied a 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-resident bidders and referenced a prior February 2026 purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million (due July 13, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations (extended to May 4, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services, and Ben Hill County Schools School Nutrition Program bid food products in May 2026 with Buy American Act compliance required. FOB Destination delivery, firm fixed pricing, and delivery within 7 to 30 days of order receipt are standard contract terms; all buyers require USDA compliance, grade certifications, compliance with federal food safety standards, and minimum liability insurance.
