UNSPSC 50496320: Organic siberia tomato purees

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

UNSPSC 50496320 Organic siberia tomato purees (Commodity) is nominally a narrow food product code, but state and local procurement records show little activity matching the specific product title. Recent opportunities solicited under this code instead cover broad food service procurement for state institutions, including general canned and prepared foods, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and consumable supplies for cafeteria and canteen operations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and the State of Illinois have posted opportunities spanning food and kitchen product categories. Issuing bodies are primarily state departments overseeing institutional meal services (health and human services, corrections), county and municipal school districts, and county governments. Work includes both commodity procurement (canned vegetables, prepared proteins, frozen specialty items, condiments) and food service supply chain operations with strict compliance requirements around food safety, USDA grade standards, shelf-life certification, delivery timelines, and nutritional specifications tailored to state-regulated meal programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with activity in Oregon and Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with bids due July 13, 2026, covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated foods under a contract with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (USDA Grade B or better) with bids due June 19, 2026, and Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-resident bidder preferences applied; and Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools issued comprehensive school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026 covering nearly 400 line items each across multiple food categories. Vendor requirements typically mandate F.O.B. Destination delivery within three to seven days, proof of three prior references, compliance with E-Verify and debarment certifications, liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $1 million, and HACCP or food safety plan implementation.
