UNSPSC 50486405: Cherry belle tomato purees

The variety of tomates known as cherry belle tomatoes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486405 Cherry belle tomato purees is a Commodity code covering prepared tomato products and related canned-vegetable and condiment items that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations. The solicitations tracked under this code reflect a broader scope than the nominal cherry belle variety alone — state and local buyers are purchasing canned tomatoes, tomato-based sauces, and shelf-stable prepared foods (frozen specialty entrees, proteins, condiments, and consumable supplies) to supply state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, and other institutional cafeterias. Issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), state departments of corrections (Oregon), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County), state nutrition and human services agencies (Illinois, Georgia), and state comptroller procurement divisions on behalf of criminal justice departments. Texas state agencies represent a significant share of recent activity, with multiple solicitations posted by HHSC for state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso, as well as one procurement by the Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice; Oregon Department of Corrections and multiple Georgia jurisdictions (school districts and county government) also appear as repeat or concurrent buyers.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon with secondary activity in Illinois.
