UNSPSC 50486410: Grape tomato purees

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

UNSPSC 50486410 Grape tomato purees, a Commodity code, sees limited direct activity in recent state and local solicitations, with the code's nominal scope appearing infrequently in posted opportunities. State and local governments that do procure under this code are primarily school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies seeking food products for institutional feeding operations. The kinds of issuing bodies active in the broader food procurement space—school districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and county boards of education—rarely tag opportunities specifically to tomato purees or concentrated tomato products; instead, they cast wider nets under general food procurement codes that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, and shelf-stable goods. The work being solicited under related food codes includes fresh and frozen produce, canned goods, condiments, and prepared entrees for cafeterias, dining facilities, and on-campus food service operations, with vendors typically required to meet USDA grade standards, FDA compliance, nutritional specifications, and Buy American Act requirements where applicable.

Recent state and local procurement activity in the food commodity space concentrates in the Southeast and West. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple solicitations for canned tomato products (ITB S2910000016089 for tomato paste due March 9, 2026, and ITB S2910000015837 for canned tomatoes due February 9, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026) and IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food statewide (maximum potential value $4.5 million), and Georgia school districts including Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, and Douglas County School System have issued multiple RFPs and IFBs for produce, fresh items, and full grocery assortments. Illinois and Missouri school districts and state facilities round out recent activity. A business development professional evaluating this code should note that grape tomato purees as a discrete commodity appear to be bundled into broader food service contracts rather than solicited as standalone line items, making direct pursuit under this specific UNSPSC code unlikely; the more productive approach is tracking general food procurement solicitations from institutional buyers (corrections, schools, health facilities) and positioning tomato products within their larger grocery or condiment categories.
