UNSPSC 50486422: Tigerella tomato purees

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

UNSPSC 50486422 Tigerella tomato purees (Commodity) covers canned and processed tomato products for state and local institutional food service — specifically the shelf-stable tomato products, sauces, and specialty items that state agencies, school districts, and detention facilities procure for mass feeding operations. Recent solicitations show tomato purees and canned tomatoes appearing as line items within much larger food-service contracts rather than as standalone buys; the code's activity reflects institutional demand for bulk processed tomato inventory integrated into comprehensive cafeteria and canteen supply chains. Issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies operating state-supported living centers and correctional facilities, supplemented by school districts and county service departments. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission emerges as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for food and consumables spanning state hospitals and living centers statewide, with contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years on some awards. School districts across Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and Texas (through state cooperative frameworks) are regular purchasers of canned tomato products as part of Child Nutrition Program compliance procurement.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a standalone canned tomato IFB (S2910000017145) on June 5, 2026, soliciting approximately 7,616 cases of USDA Grade B or better canned tomatoes for delivery to Salem with a prior-purchase reference price of $13.75 per case as of February 2026; that RFQ closed June 19, 2026 at 9:00 AM PST with a 5% state-residency and Oregon-fabricated preference. Texas Health and Human Services issued supplemental food and consumables IFB HHS0016792V2 (posted May 19, 2026, closed March 19, 2026) covering 210 line items including tomato products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Ben Hill County Schools (Fitzgerald, Georgia) released IFB #26271 on May 19, 2026 (due June 15, 2026) for school nutrition procurement including canned tomatoes under Buy American Act compliance. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) for cafeteria food products across five TDCJ warehouse regions, encompassing specialty items and staples for prison food service. These procurements typically require FOB Destination pricing with delivery within 7 to 30 days of order, USDA grade certification, and minimum 12-month shelf life at delivery.
