UNSPSC 50496313 Organic marvel striped traditional tomato purees is a Commodity code that, despite its nominal name, shows state and local procurement focused broadly on shelf-stable and consumable food items for institutional food service—primarily fresh, frozen, canned, and dried proteins; produce; dairy; condiments; and food service supplies. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state procurement), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and state correctional and supported-living facilities. The scope spans bulk purchases of canned tomatoes, prepared proteins, frozen vegetables, grains, condiments, baking supplies, dairy products, and disposable food service items (containers, napkins, trays, straws, foil) in quantities ranging from single cases to several thousand cases annually. Delivery is consistently required within 7 to 72 hours of order, and pricing is evaluated on a unit-cost basis with all transportation charges included on an F.O.B. Destination basis. Bidders must provide verifiable references, insurance documentation (minimum $500,000 general liability), compliance certifications (E-Verify, debarment, suspension), and in many cases HACCP food safety plans and recall protocols.

Recent activity shows concentration in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (due June 19, 2026), with the previous purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition food with hundreds of line items across multiple categories (bids due June 15, 2026). The Texas HHSC has issued multiple large solicitations, including one with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Contract terms typically run one year with renewal and extension options, and institutional buyers consistently require firm pricing for 30 days post-award with subsequent adjustments tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index verification.
