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, a Commodity code, identifies a narrow product line that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations reveal that while the code nominally describes organic cherry tomato purees, actual procurement activity under this designation shows minimal direct demand for that specific product. Instead, the recent opportunities block shows issuing bodies across school districts, state health and human services agencies, and corrections departments soliciting broad food and consumables categories—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, grocery items, and supplemental food products—where organic cherry tomato purees would be a subordinate line item if present at all. The mix of issuing bodies includes school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple facilities statewide. These jurisdictions recur frequently in the recent block, signaling sustained institutional demand for food service sourcing.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, with school districts in the Southeast region (Georgia particularly) representing the highest volume of recent solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 (posted March 23, 2026, due April 6, 2026) for canned tomatoes at approximately 7,616 cases; and the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens. Larger school districts and multi-facility institutional buyers are the primary market, with contracts typically structured as annual fixed-price arrangements with quarterly or annual price redetermination provisions tied to USDA indices or Consumer Price Index adjustments. The code shows activity but limited specificity—recent solicitations tag broad food procurements with this Commodity code without isolating organic cherry tomato purees as a distinct line item, suggesting the code may not reflect primary buying patterns in the state and local space.
