UNSPSC 50476425: Canned or jarred organic yellow cocktail tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50476425 Canned or jarred organic yellow cocktail tomatoes (Commodity) describes shelf-stable canned tomato products that state and local governments procure as line items within broader institutional food service contracts. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring canned tomatoes alongside dozens of other staple proteins, produce, dairy, and dry goods—not as standalone specialty purchases. The Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (USDA Grade B or better, sliced, diced, stewed, halves, or whole in cans or pouches) exemplifies the scale and integration typical under this code; that procurement also accepted supplier bids on other frozen and shelf-stable items. The code sees use across state institutions—correctional facilities, state supported living centers, state hospitals, and school nutrition programs—rather than counties or municipalities purchasing independently. State-level buying bodies and institutional food service programs dominate recent activity.

Recent solicitations cluster in Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission state supported living center contracts, Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria procurement), Georgia (Gwinnett County food items, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and Oregon (Department of Corrections canned tomato bid). Illinois posted a single food order in June 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato bid (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, with prior purchase reference at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest) offers the most recent and concrete signal; Oregon applies a 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-processed goods and resident bidders. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple institutional food service IFBs through 2026 (El Paso State Supported Living Center in June with historical value of $1.5 million annually; Lufkin State Supported Living Center in August and October), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB 304T-26-300CF spans five geographic warehouse distribution areas across the state with approximately 382 line items. School nutrition programs in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools in May, Burke County Public Schools in May) bid comprehensive food procurement annually. Response dates across these opportunities have already passed as of October 2026; current market visibility under this code is limited to forward planning for new fiscal-year cycles beginning July or September 2027.
