UNSPSC 50496316: Organic red alert tomato purees

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

UNSPSC 50496316 Organic red alert tomato purees (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The most recent opportunities solicited under 50496316 cover canned tomatoes, tomato paste, fresh produce, comprehensive food service contracts, and grocery procurement for schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies—none of which involve organic red alert tomato purees as a distinct product category. Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (sliced, diced, stewed, halves, or whole) with USDA Grade B or better standards and sodium content not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams in February and June 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables including tomato-based products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide; and multiple school districts in Georgia and Missouri (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District) solicited general food and produce items as part of comprehensive child nutrition contracts.

The issuing bodies represent state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and school districts across at least four states: Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Missouri. Geographic concentration appears in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Missouri, and Illinois. Recent opportunities predominantly target institutional food service operations serving incarcerated populations, state hospital patients, supported living center residents, and school meal programs rather than retail-market organic specialty products. The code appears to capture general tomato products and canned goods within larger institutional food procurement rather than premium organic segments. No recent solicitations specifically name organic red alert tomato purees, and the scope of actual buying under this code diverges substantially from the code's nominal title.
