UNSPSC 50496321: Organic super beefsteak tomato purees

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

UNSPSC 50496321 Organic super beefsteak tomato purees is a Commodity-level code that in practice covers a far broader range of shelf-stable and fresh food products than its nominal scope suggests. State and local procurement activity under this code spans comprehensive food-service sourcing for institutional cafeterias, kitchens, and canteens rather than tomato purees specifically. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, state correctional departments, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state universities. Texas Health and Human Services Commission is a repeat buyer, posting multiple IFBs for food and consumables supplying state-supported living centers and state hospitals across fiscal years. School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and state corrections agencies also appear frequently. The scope of work encompasses hundreds of line items per solicitation—fresh, frozen, and canned proteins; dairy; produce; grains; condiments; sauces; baking supplies; and disposable food-service supplies—with contract terms typically running July through June or September through August, firm fixed pricing required for initial periods with quarterly or semi-annual adjustments thereafter tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data, FOB Destination delivery requirements, and vendor certifications including HACCP plans, debarment status, E-Verify compliance, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1 million per occurrence.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. Texas Health and Human Services posted IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables (due July 13, 2026, $1.5 million historical annual value, 210+ line items), supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers with a $4.5 million potential value over three years (response deadline March 19, 2026), and cafeteria food for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026, 22 line items). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five warehouse regions (extended response deadline May 4, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, and vegetables for senior services under IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools posted sealed bids for comprehensive food supplies across four schools (due June 15, 2026, Buy American Act applicable). Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia sought nearly 400 line items across five schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026, award anticipated June 16, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections issued a canned-tomatoes-specific IFB for approximately 7,616 cases (due June 19, 2026, previous purchase at $13.75 per case). Illinois state procurement for quarterly weekly food order (due June 26, 2026) and an Oregon potato variety procurement (due July 27, 2026) also appear, though Oregon's potato solicitation lacks sufficient specification detail in the source material. The code shows consistent quarterly and seasonal posting patterns aligned with fiscal-year transitions, with response windows typically two to three weeks and delivery requirements ranging from 30 to 72 hours after order placement.
