UNSPSC 50630103: Sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped tomatoes

Sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped tomatoes imported into the united states.

UNSPSC 50630103 Sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped tomatoes — Commodity — covers processed tomato products that state and local governments buy primarily for institutional food service at correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, and senior services. Recent solicitations show demand for both fresh tomatoes and prepared tomato products (sauces, diced varieties) as components of broader food service and canteen supply contracts, reflecting operational procurement for meals and food programs across multiple agency types. State agencies dominate the recent activity, particularly the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice, joined by school districts and county/municipal food service operations across Texas and Georgia. The code sits within a broader constellation of fresh and processed produce solicitations in state and local purchasing, though tomato-specific line items appear intermixed with general fruit and vegetable procurement rather than as standalone opportunities.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFB solicitations for consumables and food service groceries to state-supported living centers, including HHS0018082 (Lufkin, posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026) and HHS0017872 (also Lufkin, posted August 11, 2026, due August 25, 2026), both naming tomato products alongside prepared foods and foodservice supplies. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued RFPs for fresh fruit and vegetables to multiple food warehouses (Snyder, Palestine, Wynne) with responses due mid-October 2026. Beyond Texas, the Illinois Department of Corrections requested fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under small-business set-aside (bid due September 3, 2026), and the Illinois Department of Mental Health solicited fresh fruits and vegetables for Madden Mental Health Center (proposals due August 14, 2026). School districts in Georgia (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County) have posted sealed bid solicitations for fresh produce with emphasis on local sourcing within 400 miles and seasonal availability. Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary presence in Illinois and Wisconsin. The market remains fragmented across institutional food service categories — no single dominant buyer type or geographic anchor, though state correctional and human services agencies appear most active in recent months.
