UNSPSC 50486411 Green tomato purees is a Commodity code that describes canned and shelf-stable tomato products purchased by state and local governments primarily for institutional food service operations. State and local solicitations under this code and related food-service commodity codes reveal that jurisdictions are buying a broad range of canned, frozen, and prepared food products—including tomato-based items, proteins, vegetables, dairy, and consumable food-service supplies—for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, and other public institutions. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state-level procurement offices that aggregate demand across multiple facilities. The work involves straightforward product specification, competitive sealed bidding, and delivery-within-days timelines to institutional distribution points or individual facility cafeterias.

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issues large institutional food buys (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 line items across multiple TDCJ warehouse regions.
