UNSPSC 50486426: Yellow pear-shaped tomato purees

The variety of tomates known as yellow pear-shaped tomatoes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486426 Yellow pear-shaped tomato purees is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its narrow product scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for yellow pear-shaped tomato purees or even tomato purees generally; instead, the tagged opportunities span broader food procurement including canned tomatoes, tomato paste, fresh produce, grocery staples, and school nutrition programs. The mismatch between the code's specificity and the actual activity suggests this Commodity sits at the edge of state and local procurement taxonomy—too narrow to capture the broader tomato-based products that public bodies actually purchase.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing tomato products source them as line items within larger food service contracts rather than as standalone procurements. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases) and tomato paste (approximately 1,904 cases) as individual components of institutional food supply, and school districts and state health agencies in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Virginia include canned tomatoes and related products within comprehensive grocery and nutrition service bids. Geographic activity in recent months centers on Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), and Illinois (Veterans Home). No opportunities in the block solicit yellow pear-shaped tomato purees as a distinct product line; the code appears oversized relative to actual procurement demand in this category.
