UNSPSC 50476409: Canned or jarred organic gardener's delight tomatoes

The variety of organic tomatoes known as organic gardener's delight tomatoes that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50476409 Canned or jarred organic gardener's delight tomatoes is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable canned tomato products — primarily in bulk quantities for institutional food service operations at correctional facilities, state supported living centers, schools, and public health agencies. Recent solicitations show procurement of canned tomatoes in standard institutional pack sizes (cases) meeting USDA Grade B or better, with specifications addressing sodium content, shelf life, packaging formats (sliced, diced, stewed, halves, or whole), and code dating for inventory management. The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies, state corrections departments, county school nutrition programs, and county social services. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, with the Oregon Department of Corrections also active in the market. Canned tomato procurement is embedded within larger consumables and food service supply contracts rather than solicited as a standalone commodity, reflecting the role of these products as components in institutional meal planning and food service operations.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Oregon, with secondary activity in Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections sought approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, under IFB S2910000017145 with prior purchase history at $13.75 per case (California Healthy Harvest, February 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission included canned tomatoes within broader supplemental food and consumable procurements for state hospitals and state supported living centers, most recently under IFB HHS0016792V2 (response deadline March 19, 2026) covering 210 line items with a three-year contract value ceiling of $4.5 million across all food categories. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) each solicited canned vegetables and related food items as line items within comprehensive school nutrition food bids due in May and June 2026. The code shows consistent activity tied to institutional meal service demand, with FOB Destination pricing, delivery windows of 7–30 days, and compliance requirements including USDA standards, FDA labeling, and shelf-life certifications.
