UNSPSC 50486423: Tiny tim tomato purees

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

UNSPSC 50486423 Tiny tim tomato purees (Commodity) is a narrow procurement category that does not map cleanly to state and local government buying activity, as the recent opportunities show minimal or no purchasing specifically for tomato purees. Instead, state and local solicitations in this family bracket—those tagged at or near the code—overwhelmingly seek broader food supply and consumable products for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies. The actual work being solicited under proximate codes includes comprehensive weekly food orders covering dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, produce, prepared foods, and supplies; individual commodity procurement for specific ingredients such as canned tomatoes and tomato paste; and master grocery contracts delivering diverse food inventories to multiple school sites, state hospitals, and institutional food service operations. Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities consist predominantly of school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) alongside state departments and agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Georgia state procurement, State of Georgia). School nutrition programs represent the largest issuing-body category, with multiple districts in Georgia and Missouri posting annual food bids in the same timeframe.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Texas, with significant secondary activity in Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000016405 on March 23, 2026, for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (multiple formats and preparations, USDA Grade B or better, delivery due within 30 days, bid closing June 19, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products to supply state supported living centers statewide (historical value $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 on April 6, 2026, for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (weekly Monday–Friday deliveries 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., bids due April 27, 2026). The code shows substantial indirect activity through food distribution and meal-service procurement but limited direct purchasing for tomato purees as a standalone commodity line item.
