UNSPSC 50496306: Organic cherry tomato purees

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

UNSPSC 50496306 Organic cherry tomato purees (Commodity) describes processed tomato products for institutional food service, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show limited activity directly aligned with the nominal scope. Of the ten opportunities surveyed, only one—the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato procurement (S2910000017145, IFB, June 19, 2026)—involves tomato products as a primary line item; that solicitation covered approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (sliced, diced, stewed, halves, or whole) meeting USDA Grade B or better with sodium not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams. The remaining opportunities tag general food and consumables for state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities, spanning prepared foods, proteins, frozen items, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies—a significantly broader scope than organic cherry tomato purees alone. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county school systems (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Gwinnett County), and regional purchasing offices, with activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon.

The code shows fragmented recent opportunity flow across multiple issuing bodies and geographies with no clear concentration in organic cherry tomato purees procurement. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears twice (HHS0018082 on October 23, 2026, and HHS0017872 on August 25, 2026), both IFBs for general consumables at state-supported living centers that list food products and food service supplies without specific tomato puree line items. The Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato IFB (due June 19, 2026) represents the closest match to the code's nominal scope, though it does not specify organic certification and covers eight truckloads of standard canned tomatoes from California Healthy Harvest at $13.75 per case in the prior February purchase. School nutrition programs in Georgia (Ben Hill County, Burke County, Gwinnett County) drove three additional opportunities between May and June 2026, none of which isolate tomato products or organic specifications. The code appears to be a minor classifier within broader food and consumables solicitations rather than a primary procurement line; buyers pursuing this code should verify actual line-item inclusion in RFPs and IFBs before bid preparation, as the mismatch between the code name and the observed scope suggests inconsistent tagging or that tomato purees represent a small subset of multi-category food service bids.
