UNSPSC 50476416: Canned or jarred organic red alert tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50476416 Canned or jarred organic red alert tomatoes is a Commodity code that encompasses preserved tomato products—sliced, diced, stewed, halves, or whole—procured by state and local institutions for food service operations. State and local governments buy canned tomatoes primarily through their departments of corrections, health and human services agencies operating state-supported living centers and hospitals, and school districts supplying child nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show procurement officers specifying USDA Grade B or better standards, sodium limits not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams, minimum 12-month shelf life at delivery, and compliance with FDA labeling and Country of Origin requirements. The work is straightforward commodity supply with firm, fixed per-unit pricing and FOB Destination terms including all transportation and delivery charges.

The code sees activity across multiple states, with recent opportunities concentrated in Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB on June 5, 2026 (response due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, with Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-resident bidders receiving 5% evaluation preference; a prior similar procurement in January 2026 referenced a historical price of $14.30 per case from Highland Wholesale. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited food and consumable products covering canned goods under IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million for the prior contract year. School districts in Georgia—Ben Hill County Schools (IFB posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (RFP posted May 11, 2026, due May 26, 2026)—issued separate food procurement solicitations encompassing canned vegetables and fruits as line items within broader meal-support contracts. The code shows steady activity among institutional food service buyers with quarterly and annual contracting cycles aligned to fiscal-year boundaries and school calendar years.
