UNSPSC 50486407: Delicious tomato purees

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

UNSPSC 50486407 Delicious tomato purees (Commodity) covers canned and shelf-stable tomato products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Recent solicitations show purchasing of canned tomatoes in multiple formats (whole, diced, sliced, stewed, halves) meeting USDA Grade B or better standards, with sodium content specifications and minimum 12-month shelf life requirements. State and local issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities (state-supported living centers across multiple locations), Oregon Department of Corrections, school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Georgia county and state agencies, Illinois state agencies, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners. The Oregon Department of Corrections procurement of approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026 represents a significant volume under this code, alongside multiple Texas HHSC supplemental food procurements that bundle tomato products with broader food-service categories.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia based on recent postings. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued IFB S2910000017145 on June 5, 2026, for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 AM PST), with previous February 2026 purchase pricing at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest, delivery to ODOC's Central Distribution Center in Salem, and Oregon-fabricated or resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent applied for evaluation. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has repeatedly solicited supplemental food and consumables through IFBs HHS0016792V2 (issued May 19, 2026, bids due March 19, 2026, covering 210 line items with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years) and HHS0017449 (issued June 11, 2026, bids due July 13, 2026, with prior-period historical value of $1.5 million), both serving state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide and permitting price adjustments tied to CPI. School districts in Georgia—Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools—issued comprehensive food bids in May and June 2026 that include canned tomato products among hundreds of line items for the 2026–2027 school year nutrition programs.
