UNSPSC 50486414 Minibel tomato purees is a Commodity code that captures state and local government food service procurement for canned and processed tomato products — specifically branded tomato purees and related tomato-based prepared foods — sourced as components of larger institutional food supply contracts. Recent solicitations show state agencies, school districts, and correctional facilities procuring tomato paste, canned tomatoes in multiple forms (whole, diced, sliced, stewed), and branded grocery items as line items within comprehensive quarterly and annual food service bids. The issuing bodies span state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county and independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), and regional buying cooperatives supporting multi-district procurement (Douglas County School System GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 Georgia districts).

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic (Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Missouri, Oregon) with Texas and Georgia school districts posting the most recent activity. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016089 for tomato paste (approximately 1,904 cases, due March 9, 2026), the State of Illinois RFQ 26497DVAQUINCB52821 for quarterly weekly food orders including brand-specific tomato products (due June 26, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior period (due July 13, 2026). School nutrition contracts dominate recent postings, with Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens, responses due April 27, 2026) and Rockwood R-VI School District's dual grocery procurements for 2026-27 (approximately 900 line items across Grocery Items and Net Off Invoice products, due April 29, 2026) reflecting large-scale institutional demand. All solicitations specify firm fixed pricing, delivery to multiple locations, compliance with Buy American and USDA grade requirements, and minimum shelf life and food safety standards; none of the opportunities identified in the recent posting block are tagged exclusively to this Commodity code, indicating activity here sits within broader food service families.
