UNSPSC 50496303: Organic black plum tomato purees

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

UNSPSC 50496303 Organic black plum tomato purees (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement. The code encompasses specialized tomato products—specifically organic varieties in puree form—that state and local agencies source for institutional food service operations, including correctional facilities, health and human services centers, school nutrition programs, and veteran homes. State and local buyers issuing under this code include corrections departments, health and human services commissions, school districts, and other institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local procurement offices tag canned tomato products, tomato paste, and related tomato-based ingredients under tomato-family codes; however, the available recent opportunities do not include solicitations explicitly for organic black plum tomato purees. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple recent bids for canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and related tomato products (ITBs S2910000015837 in January 2026 and S2910000016089 in February 2026, both due in early March 2026), establishing a pattern of regular tomato procurement, but these focus on canned whole, sliced, diced, or stewed forms and tomato paste rather than purees. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the State of Illinois, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, and other institutional buyers have posted broader food procurement solicitations that may include tomato-based products as line items within comprehensive catalogs, though those opportunities do not isolate organic black plum purees as distinct commodities.

State and local procurement for tomato products concentrates in the Southwest (Texas), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Southeast (Georgia, Florida). Recent activity shows state corrections departments in Oregon and Texas, school nutrition programs across Georgia and other states, and state health and human services commissions as repeat buyers of tomato-family products. The code shows no recent standalone solicitations specifically for organic black plum tomato purees; the tomato products being actively procured are canned commodities (whole, sliced, diced, stewed), tomato paste, and fresh produce rather than specialty organic purees. Vendors pursuing this code should note that state and local procurement activity in tomato products favors bulk canned goods meeting USDA Grade B or better standards, with price-competitive sourcing tied to historical purchase records and market indices. The absence of recent dedicated organic puree solicitations suggests limited or specialized demand for that particular SKU under this code at present.
