UNSPSC 50476406: Canned or jarred organic cherry tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50476406 Canned or jarred organic cherry tomatoes is a Commodity code covering preserved tomato products that state and local governments purchase for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations across the code show procurement of various canned and jarred tomato formats—whole, diced, sliced, stewed, and paste—purchased primarily by departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, and school nutrition programs for cafeteria operations, state-supported living centers, and institutional kitchens. The issuing-body mix is dominated by school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri) and state-level social service and corrections agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, and Georgia state procurement offices). A smaller volume of opportunities flows through municipal and county health departments and special-purpose nutrition programs. School districts represent the most frequent repeat buyers, typically issuing annual or multi-year contracts to consolidate purchasing across elementary, middle, and high school cafeterias.

The geographic spread shows concentrated recent activity in Georgia (multiple school districts in Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Burke County), Texas (HHSC and TDCJ procurements statewide), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Missouri (Rockwood school district), with smaller activity in Illinois (Veterans Home), Virginia (Fairfax County), and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026 (solicitation S2910000017145, ITB format, seeking USDA Grade B or better with sodium limits and 12-month shelf life), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products due July 13, 2026 at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with estimated historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period, and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products including canned items due June 15, 2026. Pricing across recent bids ranges from approximately $13.75 to $27.75 per case depending on product type and format, with delivery typically required within 30 days of order issuance and firm pricing expected for 12-month contract periods, though vendors often negotiate midterm adjustments tied to USDA or consumer price indices when commodity costs shift materially.
