UNSPSC 50496322: Organic tigerella tomato purees

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

UNSPSC 50496322 Organic tigerella tomato purees is a Commodity code that describes tomato paste, canned tomatoes, and related processed tomato products procured by state and local agencies for food service operations — a narrow category within broader food procurement that state and local buyers use to stock institutional cafeterias, correctional facilities, supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. The recent opportunities show state and local governments buying canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and other tomato-based products as line items within larger food service contracts rather than as standalone specialty items; the code's abstract name (organic tigerella purees) does not align with the actual goods being solicited, which are standard-grade, conventional tomato products meeting USDA Grade A, B, or Standard specifications with sodium limits and shelf-life requirements. Issuers span state corrections departments, state health and human services commissions, school districts, and veteran services facilities, with repeat activity from the Oregon Department of Corrections and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

Recent activity clusters in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Missouri. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (solicitation S2910000016089, due February 9, 2026, and S2910000016405, due June 19, 2026) requiring USDA Grade B or better, sliced/diced/stewed/whole formats, sodium not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams, and minimum 12-month shelf life, with FOB Destination pricing and deliveries to Salem's Central Distribution Center. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792 (due February 23, 2026, later extended to March 19, 2026) for supplemental food and consumable products across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, encompassing canned goods among 210 line items with firm fixed pricing and delivery within seven days of order. The Oregon Department of Corrections separately solicited tomato paste (ITB S2910000016089, due March 9, 2026) specifying USDA Grade A, Fancy, Grade C, or Standard with no more than two ingredients, sodium not exceeding 240 mg per tablespoon, cans only, and minimum 12-month shelf life, with historical pricing at $27.75 per case from Highland Wholesale. School districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia procure tomato-based products as components of broader food service bids (Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271, Rockwood School District Child Nutrition Services, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, and Fairfax County Public Schools), where canned tomatoes appear as line items within contracts spanning hundreds of food SKUs. No opportunities in the source are dedicated exclusively to organic tigerella tomato purees or specialty organic tomato products, indicating limited market presence for that specific commodity within state and local procurement.
