UNSPSC 50630303: Sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped tomatoes

Non-GMO sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped tomatoes imported into the United States.

UNSPSC 50630303 Sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped tomatoes is a Commodity code covering processed tomato products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs, child care food service operations, and institutional food service across correctional facilities and senior services. School districts dominate the buyer base, with scattered activity from county boards of education, municipal senior services, Head Start agencies, and state departments of criminal justice. The code captures ready-to-eat produce items delivered in processed form—cleaned, inspected, packaged, and labeled with traceability information—rather than raw bulk commodities. Recent opportunities show school nutrition programs sourcing fresh produce bundles that include tomato varieties alongside apples, carrots, potatoes, and seasonal items, with emphasis on USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance, domestic sourcing preferences, and local farm prioritization where feasible (typically within 200–400 miles of the buying location).

Solicitation activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary opportunities in Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut. Georgia hosts the highest volume, with multiple school district RFPs and IFBs issued by Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Henry County Schools, and Bulloch County School District all sourcing fresh produce between February and June 2026. Texas activity centers on the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement of bulk root vegetables and staple items, along with school districts in San Antonio (Northside ISD, Austin ISD) and the Rio Grande Valley (McAllen ISD) bidding fresh produce for child nutrition. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, emphasizing Wisconsin-sourced produce within 400 miles with organic preference discounts and USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program compliance; Bartow County Schools (Georgia) RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables due June 22, 2026, limiting sourcing to 400-mile radius and weighted on seasonal variety and delivery proficiency; and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fruits and vegetables to elementary FFVP sites, a cost-plus contract due March 11, 2026 (already closed), requiring GAP certification and three years' distribution experience. Pricing typically incorporates delivery fees, temperature-controlled transport, traceability documentation, and compliance with Buy American provisions; evaluation emphasizes cost (25–50 percent weight), product quality and freshness, on-time delivery, and vendor qualifications.
