UNSPSC 50486427: Yellow perfection tomato purees

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

UNSPSC 50486427 Yellow perfection tomato purees (Commodity) identifies a narrow food product line, but state and local procurement solicitations tagged to this code show actual buying patterns that span shelf-stable prepared foods, canned vegetables, and food-service consumables far broader than the nominal specification. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Oregon Department of Corrections, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have posted recent opportunities for bulk food procurement to supply state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services centers, and school nutrition programs. The work involves responding to detailed line-item food bids with firm, fixed pricing; managing delivery logistics to single or multiple locations within specified windows (commonly 30 to 72 hours); complying with federal food standards (USDA grades, FDA labeling, sodium limits, shelf-life minimums); and demonstrating vendor qualifications through references, insurance, E-Verify affidavits, and debarment certifications. Many solicitations require submission of product samples, nutritional facts labels, and proof of specification conformance within tight timeframes. Bid response infrastructure varies—some issuing bodies use electronic systems (HHS Online Bid Room, OREGONBUYS, IAMOnline), while others accept email, fax, or hand delivery. Prices typically remain firm for 30 to 90 days post-award, with adjustments limited to renewal periods and tied to third-party indices such as USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple food-and-consumables IFBs for state supported living centers and hospitals in El Paso and Lufkin (IFB HHS0017449 with $1.5 million prior-period value; IFB HHS0017872 and HHS0018082 posted August and October 2026 with response dates 25 August and 23 October). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable items due 19 October 2026. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) posted IFB #26271 with 15 June 2026 deadline. Burke County Public Schools (Waynesboro, Georgia) solicited nearly 400 line items with 26 May 2026 deadline and 16 June anticipated award. Oregon Department of Corrections requested 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due 19 June 2026 at $13.75 per case in a February 2026 award from California Healthy Harvest. Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Comptroller's office) issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items across five geographic areas with extended deadline 4 May 2026.

School districts and state institutions dominate the issuing-body mix, with independent school district nutrition programs and state agency food-service operations accounting for the visible majority of recent solicitations.
