UNSPSC 50485004: Tomatillo purees

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

UNSPSC 50485004 Tomatillo purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual products state and local governments are procuring under this classification. Recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code encompass a broad range of shelf-stable and prepared food products — canned tomatoes, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, sauces, and food service supplies — for institutional food service operations including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services, school nutrition programs, and state hospitals. The code's nominal scope (tomatillo purees specifically) appears disconnected from the actual procurements, which reflect general food supply and consumables contracting for public institutions rather than a narrow category of processed tomatillo products. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, departments of corrections, school districts, county boards of commissioners, and county schools across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. These jurisdictions conduct competitions multiple times annually under IFB, IWQ (informal written quote), and RFP structures, with response windows typically ranging from one to three weeks.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting consumable foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with seven-day delivery required; the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (IFB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case and Oregon-resident and Oregon-fabricated bidder preferences at 5 percent; Gwinnett County requesting informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for senior services; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procuring approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (IFB 304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026). Texas dominates recent activity, with the state issuing multiple large-scale IFBs for state-supported living centers and corrections facilities; Georgia and Oregon show secondary but consistent activity through school districts and state corrections operations.
