UNSPSC 50486424: Tumbler tomato purees

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

UNSPSC 50486424 Tumbler tomato purees (Commodity) encompasses canned and processed tomato products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations—primarily correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The code captures shelf-stable tomato products in bulk quantities, typically USDA Grade B or higher, supplied in cases for high-volume distribution and storage. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state-operated residential facilities, the Oregon Department of Corrections for prison food service, school districts across Georgia and beyond for child nutrition programs, and county social services departments for congregate senior meal programs. Recent activity shows mixed procurement approaches: some jurisdictions issue comprehensive food bids that include tomato products as one line item among dozens (breakfast items, proteins, dairy, fresh produce), while others—particularly correctional and specialized-care facilities—bundle tomato purees with related canned goods and consumable supplies in single-award or line-item-award IFBs.

Recent opportunities span multiple states with notable concentration in Texas and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB in June 2026 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (IFB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026), with the prior award at $13.75 per case to California Healthy Harvest; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for food and consumables serving state supported living centers and state hospitals, including HHS0016792v2 (May 2026, maximum value $4.5 million over three years) and HHS0017449 for El Paso facility supplies (due July 13, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) each released comprehensive school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026 that encompass canned tomatoes among hundreds of line items. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procuring through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria products to supply five geographic warehouse areas statewide. Delivery timelines range from seven days to thirty days post-order, with F.O.B. Destination and inside delivery typical; bidders must meet federal Buy American and HACCP requirements where applicable, provide product samples and nutritional documentation on demand, and comply with debarment, E-Verify, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 per occurrence.
