UNSPSC 50486423 Tiny Tim tomato purees is a Commodity code that encompasses canned and shelf-stable tomato products procured by state agencies and local institutions for food service operations, institutional feeding programs, and consumable supply chains. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local buyers acquiring canned tomatoes, tomato-based sauces, and related condiments as components of broader food service contracts for state-supported living centers, corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services operations. The issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia and Texas school districts, and county departments of community services. These jurisdictions source tomato products through consolidated food procurement vehicles serving multiple facilities or campuses, typically bundling tomato-based items with proteins, produce, dairy, and consumable supplies under single IFB or IWQ notices rather than as standalone line items. Work under this code involves supplying products that meet USDA Grade B or better standards, comply with FDA labeling and sodium content requirements, arrive with minimum 12-month shelf life remaining, and deliver on FOB Destination terms with freight prepaid.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with notable secondary volume in Oregon. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB on June 5, 2026 (due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better, delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem with previous pricing at $13.75 per case from February 2026. Texas HHSC has posted multiple food and consumable solicitations naming tomato products and sauces as line items, including IFB HHS0017872 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (posted August 11, 2026, due August 25, 2026) and IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026), each covering multiple food categories with delivery required within seven days of order. Georgia school districts including Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools are actively procuring food supplies including condiments and sauces for multi-school nutrition programs. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including sauces for the Department of Community Services. Tomato-based products under this code typically represent a small portion of larger consumables contracts rather than standalone purchasing vehicles, with awards generally made to responsive and responsible bidders offering the best value based on unit pricing and delivery performance capability.
