UNSPSC 50486407: Delicious tomato purees

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

UNSPSC 50486407 Delicious tomato purees (Commodity) appears rarely in recent state and local procurement; the few coded opportunities instead solicit canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and broader food-service categories that nominally fall outside puree scope. School districts and correctional agencies dominate the recent activity, with one Texas health-and-human-services procurement showing agency food service as a primary use case. Geographic concentration is light across Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Georgia based on recent postings, though the code shows low overall velocity and inconsistent application to tomato products.

State and local buyers under this code are purchasing canned and processed tomato products for institutional food service — primarily school nutrition programs and state facility cafeterias — rather than fresh purees. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases due February 9, 2026, and an earlier posting June 19, 2026), while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables including tomato-based items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with estimated prior-period volume of $1.5 million and potential three-year contract value of $4.5 million). School districts in Georgia and Missouri have solicited grocery items and fresh produce alongside processed tomato products in bundled RFPs and IFBs. The code shows limited activity and appears to be applied inconsistently — recent opportunities tagged under it often span entire food categories rather than tomato purees specifically, suggesting either misclassification or a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and state and local procurement practice.
