UNSPSC 50496323: Organic tiny tim tomato purees

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

UNSPSC 50496323 Organic tiny tim tomato purees, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of canned and processed tomato products for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show the code encompasses a broader range of canned tomato formats—sliced, diced, stewed, whole, and paste—rather than puree-specific items. State and local buyers issuing under this code include departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, school nutrition programs, and state institutional facilities. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers, with school districts and county education systems across Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia also active in recent procurement cycles.

State and local governments are purchasing canned tomato products in substantial volumes—the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes for institutional meal service, while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumable products including tomato-based items across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with historical contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years. Requirements consistently emphasize USDA Grade B or better standards, sodium content limits not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams, minimum twelve-month shelf life at delivery, compliance with FDA labeling and food safety standards, and FOB Destination pricing inclusive of all transportation and fuel surcharges. Recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due February 9, 2026 (with a historical reference price of $14.30 per case), the State of Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables with a response deadline of March 19, 2026 and maximum potential value of $4.5 million, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products encompassing 382 line items with a response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. Activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-processed goods and resident bidders headquartered in Oregon receive a five percent preference in ODOC solicitations, while Buy American Act compliance is mandatory for school nutrition procurements in Georgia and other jurisdictions.
