UNSPSC 50476407: Canned or jarred organic delicious tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50476407 Canned or jarred organic delicious tomatoes (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, driven primarily by school districts and state agencies buying canned tomato products as components of broader food-service contracts rather than as standalone specialty-item purchases. Recent state and local activity under this code shows school nutrition programs and state institutions sourcing canned tomatoes alongside dozens of other food products, with tomato form and grade specifications (whole, diced, stewed, or sliced; USDA Grade B or better) standardized across jurisdictions and sodium limits (typically 240 mg per 100 grams or lower) enforced consistently. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state health and human services commissions operating institutional food services, county and municipal school districts, and independent school nutrition programs. State institutions (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission) appear as repeat buyers, posting quarterly or annual solicitations that include canned tomatoes as line items within broader food categories. School districts dominate the volume of recent activity—Fairfax County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Rockwood R-VI School District each issued RFPs or IFBs covering hundreds of food line items including tomato products for the 2026–2027 school year.

The code shows concentrated recent activity in Georgia and the Pacific Northwest, with secondary activity in Texas, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate canned-tomato ITBs (solicitation S2910000016405 for 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026, and S2910000015837 for 7,616 cases, due February 9, 2026), each specifying USDA Grade B or better, 12-month minimum shelf life, and FOB Destination delivery to Salem; these represent the most direct tomato-product opportunities. Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County, Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County) issued comprehensive food IFBs with response dates ranging from April 23 to June 22, 2026, all incorporating canned goods categories that typically include tomato products as line items within broader procurement. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFBs for supplemental food and consumables (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, for El Paso State Supported Living Center; HHS0016792V2, extended to March 19, 2026) encompassing canned goods alongside fresh and frozen items. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requires delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens. Illinois Veterans Home issued two quarterly RFQs (due February 24 and June 26, 2026) for branded or equivalent food items. When sourcing canned tomatoes under this code, anticipate bundling within larger institutional food contracts, firm fixed pricing including delivery charges, USDA compliance verification, compliance with Buy American and Child Nutrition Program requirements where applicable, and awards based on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best value within school-district-led procurement processes.
