UNSPSC 50496302: Organic alicante tomato purees

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

UNSPSC 50496302 Organic alicante tomato purees, a Commodity code, does not drive material state and local procurement activity. The code describes a narrow product specification—organic alicante tomato purees—yet recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code or closely adjacent tomato-product codes reflect broader food procurement for institutional cafeterias, state facilities, and school nutrition programs that encompass canned tomatoes, sauces, and general food service consumables rather than specialty organic purees. The institutional food buyers soliciting under related tomato or sauce codes are state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois), county boards, school districts (Georgia, Texas), and state-supported living centers, but these entities are purchasing commodity-grade canned tomatoes, prepared sauces, and general food service items that do not align with the organic alicante specification.

Recent opportunities show solicitation activity concentrated in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB on June 5, 2026 (due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (USDA Grade B or better, any form—sliced, diced, stewed, halves, or whole) to its Central Distribution Center in Salem; the previous purchase in February 2026 was $13.75 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs for supplemental and consumable food and related items serving state hospitals and state-supported living centers, with the largest scope (HHS0016792v2, posted May 19, 2026, due March 19, 2026) encompassing 210 line items and a three-year maximum potential value of $4.5 million. Ben Hill County Schools in Fitzgerald, Georgia sought sealed bids on June 15, 2026 for school nutrition food products across four schools with Buy American Act compliance required. None of these solicitations specify organic alicante tomato purees as a line item; the code shows little relevant recent activity for the product actually named in the taxonomy.
