UNSPSC 50476411: Canned or jarred organic green tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50476411 Canned or jarred organic green tomatoes is a Commodity code that captures shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetable products purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service operations. State and local buyers under this code are procuring packaged food items for consumption at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, and other government-operated cafeterias and canteens. The recent opportunities show that while the code nominally specifies organic green tomatoes, state and local procurement offices are purchasing broadly from the canned vegetable family — including canned tomatoes (sliced, diced, stewed, whole), canned vegetables generally, and related shelf-stable food products as part of larger multi-line-item food service contracts. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHS Commission, HHSC El Paso and Lufkin State Supported Living Centers), state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county government (Gwinnett County, Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Georgia), and state-level procurement offices (Illinois, Georgia).

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia, with Texas showing the heaviest volume through the HHS Commission's repeated food and consumable solicitations for state-supported living centers. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better with bids due June 19, 2026; the Texas HHS Commission's May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables (210 line items, $4.5 million potential value over three years) for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide; and Ben Hill County Schools' May 2026 IFB for school nutrition food products with bids due June 15, 2026. Texas HHS has issued multiple IFBs for Lufkin and El Paso State Supported Living Centers with annual values in the range of $1.5 million historically. Most contracts require F.O.B. Destination delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order and firm pricing with adjustments tied to CPI, USDA price indices, or verified market data on renewal. Bidders typically must submit three references, insurance documentation, compliance certifications (E-Verify, debarment, non-collusion), and product samples or specification sheets.
