UNSPSC 50496311: Organic green tomato purees

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

UNSPSC 50496311 Organic green tomato purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this code. The recent opportunities show no procurement activity for organic green tomato purees; instead, issuing bodies are soliciting canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and general food supply contracts that may include tomato-based products as line items among dozens of other items. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two separate solicitations for canned tomato products (approximately 7,616 cases in June 2026 and again in February 2026, with response dates of June 19, 2026 and February 9, 2026 respectively), and a second Oregon DOC posting sought tomato paste in March 2026 with a due date of March 9, 2026. These represent the only direct tomato-specific buys in the recent record. The code shows little relevant procurement activity at the commodity level; when tomato products appear, they are embedded as individual line items within much larger food-service contracts serving correctional facilities, schools, health and human services institutions, and other state agencies.

State and local buyers issuing solicitations that touch this code span school nutrition programs, state corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and institutional food-service operations across multiple states. School districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia posted food procurement RFPs and ITBs during March through June 2026 that encompass hundreds of line items including canned vegetables; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted two food-and-consumables IFBs covering supplemental products for state hospitals and supported living centers. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois based on recent postings, with Oregon DOC as a standout repeat buyer of tomato products. The code itself—"organic green tomato purees"—does not align with what institutions are actually procuring, which is bulk canned or processed tomato products for food service operations, typically purchased as commodity inputs to meals rather than as specialized organic products. Vendors should treat this code as a labeling mismatch and focus business development on general food-service commodity and fresh-produce contracts where tomato products appear as line items, particularly through school nutrition programs and state facility food-service providers.
