UNSPSC 50630203: Sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50630203 Sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped tomatoes, a Commodity code, represents processed tomato products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show school districts and other public entities are buying pre-processed tomato products—sliced, diced, or otherwise prepared forms—as components of larger fresh-produce contracts or comprehensive grocery bids, rather than as standalone tomato-only procurements. The code sits within a broader fresh-produce and institutional food service ecosystem where tomatoes appear as one line item among dozens in multi-category solicitations spanning fresh fruits, vegetables, and prepared items.

School districts dominate the issuing body mix, including large systems such as Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), and Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), alongside smaller districts in Georgia (Bulloch County, Douglas County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and others). State procurement offices in Texas and Georgia and institutional food-service buyers for Head Start programs and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice also solicit under related produce codes. Activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri. Recent representative opportunities include the Dougherty County Board of Education School Nutrition Program requesting sealed bids for fresh produce with 40 line items including tomatoes (bid response due June 16, 2026), and the Northside Independent School District requesting sealed bids for fresh produce for child nutrition with delivery five days per week to all district campuses (RFP response due May 7, 2026, with contract term July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027). The Bryan County School Nutrition Program in Georgia solicited sealed bids for fresh produce including tomatoes in multiple forms with a 342+ estimated cases annually (response due May 27, 2026). The code reflects institutional demand for value-added produce (pre-cut, pre-packaged, portion-controlled items) meeting USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable standards, HACCP certification requirements, and Buy American compliance, with pricing typically firm for contract term or subject to six-month price redetermination tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service indices.
