UNSPSC 50476404: Canned or jarred organic brandywine tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50476404 Canned or jarred organic brandywine tomatoes is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty canned vegetables—specifically branded or specified tomato products—for institutional food service operations. Recent opportunities show school districts, state corrections departments, and state health and human services agencies sourcing canned tomatoes alongside broader grocery and produce buys, with the code representing a narrow line item within larger food supply contracts rather than standalone solicitations. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned tomato products (whole, sliced, diced, stewed, or halves in cans or pouches) meeting USDA Grade B or better, sodium limits of 240 mg per 100 grams, and minimum 12-month shelf life, with pricing typically in the $13–$28 per-case range depending on form and supplier. These procurements are bundled into broader institutional food service awards covering hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, and dry goods, with vendors expected to quote per-unit or per-case pricing on firm fixed-price bases and deliver to central distribution centers or school cafeterias on scheduled cycles.

Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), and the State of Illinois Veterans Home. The geographic concentration spans the South (Georgia, Texas, Missouri) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with recent activity most visible in Oregon corrections procurement and Georgia school nutrition programs. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, at $13.75 per case (prior purchase price), and a Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables covering 210 line items including canned goods with firm pricing due July 13, 2026, supporting state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. School district RFPs typically require minimum 95–98 percent product specification compliance and weekly or biweekly delivery, with pricing indexed to USDA market reports or locked at firm fixed rates for 12-month periods. No recent opportunities identified this code as a standalone exclusive procurement; canned tomatoes appear as component line items within multi-category food service contracts where vendor evaluation centers on total cost, responsiveness, and past performance rather than tomato product differentiation alone.
