UNSPSC 50486414: Minibel tomato purees

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

UNSPSC 50486414 Minibel tomato purees (Commodity) describes one narrow product line within institutional food procurement, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code reveal a much broader scope. State and local governments are sourcing shelf-stable and fresh food items in bulk — canned tomatoes, proteins, dairy, produce, condiments, and prepared foods — primarily for state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The issuing bodies span multiple tiers: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (serving state-supported living centers and hospitals statewide), state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state comptroller procurement divisions (coordinating on behalf of criminal justice agencies), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county social services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and specialized state agencies (Illinois procurement). Texas agencies appear as repeat buyers, with multiple solicitations from HHSC for state-facility food supply across FY 2026–2027.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary presence in Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), covering 210+ line items with an estimated three-year potential value of up to $4.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences at 5 percent; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food procurement IFB 304T26300CF for roughly 382 line items across multiple warehouse locations (response extended to May 4, 2026). Smaller institutional buyers include Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (IWQ 140229, quotes due October 19, 2026). Most solicitations are IFBs or informal written quotes with response windows of one to two weeks; all require FOB Destination delivery and compliance with USDA standards, Buy American provisions where applicable, and state-specific affirmations and debarment certifications.
