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 code that does not reflect the scope of state and local food procurement activity visible in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes organic tomato purees, but the recent opportunities block shows no activity under this narrow specification. Instead, state and local procurement offices are actively soliciting canned tomatoes (whole, diced, sliced, stewed), tomato paste, fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supplies, and prepared food items across multiple product categories. The mismatch between the code's title and actual purchasing patterns suggests this particular commodity sits outside current state and local buying focus or is tagged inconsistently in procurement systems.

The recent opportunities show substantial activity in broader food service categories instead. School districts, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and state facilities solicited food products including canned tomatoes (Oregon Department of Corrections, February 2026 and March 2026; 7,616 cases and 1,904 cases respectively at ITB and ITB deadlines), fresh produce and eggs (Douglas County School System via GEC Buying Cooperative, February 2026 RFP with $4.4 million estimated annual spend for Area One), comprehensive grocery supplies (Fairfax County Public Schools, April 2026 IFB for K-12 master grocery contract; Rockwood R-VI School District, April 2026 grocery items and NOI bids; Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, May–June 2026 food bids; Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, April 2026 IFB; Texas HHSC for state hospitals and supported living centers, May and June 2026 IFBs totaling up to $4.5 million over three years), and cafeteria food products (Texas TDCJ, April–May 2026 IFB for 382 line items). Geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri, with school districts representing the largest cluster of issuing bodies, followed by state corrections and health service agencies. Activity intensity peaked in March through June 2026, indicating annual budget-cycle procurement for school nutrition programs and state facility operations beginning July 2026.
