UNSPSC 50496301: Organic ailsa craig tomato purees

The variety of organic tomates known as organic ailsa craig tomatoes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50496301 Organic ailsa craig tomato purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code are actually procuring shelf-stable food products for institutional food service operations — most commonly canned tomatoes and tomato-based products destined for cafeterias, kitchens, and food distribution centers at schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and county senior services. The recent opportunities show that tomato products are purchased as part of larger, line-item food bids spanning hundreds of items (proteins, vegetables, dairy, condiments, supplies) rather than as standalone tomato-puree purchases. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Georgia school systems), and county social services (Gwinnett County). The mix skews toward institutional food-service procurement — state-run facilities dominate the recent record, with school nutrition programs and county food services as secondary buyers.

The code shows activity across Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois, with Texas the most active jurisdiction in the recent record. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) at a prior-purchase price of $13.75 per case, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (posted May 19, 2026, due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years including renewal options). Tomato and tomato-product line items appear within these broader institutional food-service solicitations alongside dozens of other products; vendors typically respond to multiple line items or the entire bid package rather than tomato products alone. Delivery is typically FOB Destination within 7–30 days of order receipt, with products required to meet USDA Grade B or better and FDA/USDA standards. Bid response cycles run 2–4 weeks, with pre-bid meetings, questions deadlines, and addenda common.
