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 that covers shelf-stable canned tomato products—whole, diced, sliced, stewed, and halves—procured by state agencies, counties, and school districts primarily for food service operations at state-supported facilities, correctional institutions, senior centers, and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing canned tomatoes as part of broader food-service consumables procurements rather than as single-item specialty purchases. The Oregon Department of Corrections in June 2026 issued a standalone bid (S2910000017145) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better, with sodium content not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams and minimum 12-month shelf life; the prior purchase was $13.75 per case. More commonly, canned tomatoes appear as line items within large multi-category food procurements—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2, May 2026) encompassed 210 line items across fresh, frozen, and canned products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; Ben Hill County Schools' food bid (PE61000NONST2027000000006, May 2026) specified canned vegetables alongside dozens of other categories for four school locations; and Burke County Public Schools' nutrition procurement (PE55037NONST2027000000007, May 2026) included canned fruits and vegetables within nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issues frequent multi-category food procurements for state-supported living centers and hospitals; recent bids for Lufkin and El Paso facilities (HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026; HHS0017449; HHS0016792V2) recur quarterly or annually. Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (IWQ 140229, October 2026 for senior services)—regularly solicit packaged food products including canned vegetables. Oregon Department of Corrections maintains a dedicated tomato procurement cycle. The Illinois Department of Human Services (FY-27 IVHQ, June 2026) also procures weekly food orders with brand-specific or equivalent options. Recent responses are due throughout summer and fall 2026, with contracts typically running July through June or September through August fiscal cycles. Vendors responding should expect IFB and IWQ notice types, firm fixed pricing on F.O.B. Destination terms with prepaid freight, three-reference requirements, compliance with E-Verify and debarment certifications, and delivery within seven days of order receipt in most cases.
