UNSPSC 50496305 Organic cherry belle tomato purees is a Commodity code that in state and local practice primarily covers shelf-stable canned and processed tomato products — diced, sliced, stewed, whole, or in puree form — that state institutional facilities, school districts, and corrections departments purchase in bulk for food service operations. Recent opportunities tagged under this code show wide-ranging tomato procurement including canned tomatoes for corrections facilities, institutional cafeteria supplies, and school nutrition programs, though the code's nominal specificity to organic cherry belle tomato purees does not consistently reflect the actual buying activity. The work involves responding to sealed bids and informal written quotes (IFB, IWQ) with firm, fixed unit pricing submitted on pricing sheets; vendors must meet USDA grade standards (typically Grade B or better), provide detailed product identification and nutritional facts labels, include all transportation and delivery costs on an FOB Destination basis, and typically deliver within 7 to 30 days of order receipt. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state health and human services commissions operating state supported living centers and hospitals, county government nutrition programs, and school districts purchasing for multiple school locations.
