UNSPSC 50476419: Canned or jarred organic shirley tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50476419 Canned or jarred organic shirley tomatoes is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy primarily as shelf-stable food inventory for institutional food service operations—state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Recent solicitations show this code deployed across large-volume procurement buys where state agencies and school districts source canned tomatoes and related shelf-stable vegetables as components of comprehensive food-supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. The work itself consists of supplying USDA-graded canned tomatoes (typically Grade B or better) in specified package sizes with firm pricing, product identification and nutritional labeling, and compliance with FDA/USDA standards. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions operating state-supported living centers and psychiatric hospitals, state departments of corrections managing prison food service, school districts supplying child nutrition programs across multiple campuses, and county social-services departments operating senior centers. Texas appears as the most active repeat buyer, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posting multiple IFBs for consumables and supplemental food products serving statewide facility networks.

Representative recent opportunities demonstrate the scope and geographic spread. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division posted an IFB on June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026, for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better, with a prior February 2026 award at $13.75 per case and a 5% preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-resident bidders. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0016792V2 in May 2026 for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items including canned vegetables to supply state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia each posted comprehensive school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026 spanning nearly 400 line items including canned vegetables and fruits. Activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with school districts and state-operated facilities as primary buyers.
