UNSPSC 50476415: Canned or jarred organic oaxacan pink tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50476415 Canned or jarred organic oaxacan pink tomatoes is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable canned tomato products purchased by state and local food service operations—institutional dining, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state supported living centers. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring canned tomatoes as part of broader food-service line-item bids that include proteins, produce, dairy, and consumable supplies. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services agencies, state corrections departments, school districts, and county social service operations. The scope is straightforward: canned tomatoes in various preparations (diced, sliced, stewed, whole, in cans or pouches) meeting USDA Grade B or better, with specifications addressing sodium content, shelf life, labeling, and country-of-origin marking. Vendors typically bid on this commodity as one line item within larger food-service contracts rather than in isolation, and award is usually made to the lowest responsive bidder per line item or by group, with delivery expected within 30 days of order or on a fixed schedule aligned with facility operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with an Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-resident bidder preference of 5 percent; the previous purchase in February 2026 was $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple food-service IFBs covering canned tomatoes and related items for state supported living centers—notably HHS0017449 (El Paso facility, due July 11, 2026 with historical value of $1.5 million for all food and consumables) and HHS0016792V2 (statewide supplemental food for state hospitals and living centers, with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years). Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia posted school nutrition food bids (due June 15 and June 5, 2026 respectively) encompassing canned vegetables and tomatoes within broader grocery procurements. These opportunities suggest active, recurring demand from large institutional buyers with annual or multi-year contracting cycles; however, the commodity code itself shows no standalone recent solicitations—all recorded activity tags canned tomatoes as a line item within larger consumable or food-service contracts.
