UNSPSC 50485004: Tomatillo purees

The variety of nightshades known as tomatillo which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485004 Tomatillo purees is a Commodity code representing specialized food ingredients that state and local governments procure as components within broader food service supply chains, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct demand for this specific product—the code appears tangentially related to a wider category of canned and processed produce items state nutrition programs purchase. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code's broader product family include school districts, state corrections departments, and state health and human services agencies. The work being solicited under related codes encompasses weekly and annual food orders for institutional nutrition programs, including canned tomato products, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and consumable supplies for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and school cafeterias across multiple states. Issuing bodies range from single school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia) to state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home) and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts).

Recent solicitations show the strongest geographic concentration in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with scattered activity in Missouri and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), covering multiple NIGP food and supply categories with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' S2910000016089 for tomato paste (response due March 9, 2026, approximately 1,904 cases) and S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases); Ben Hill County Schools' PE61000NONST2027000000006 comprehensive food bid (response due June 15, 2026) covering hundreds of line items across produce, meat, dairy, and supplies for four school locations; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (response due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for one geographic area. Most school district and state agency solicitations use IFB or RFP formats with firm fixed pricing, Buy American requirements, and annual contract periods with renewal options typically spanning three to five years.
