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 representing processed tomato products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — cafeteria and kitchen operations at correctional facilities, mental health centers, state supported living centers, and school districts. Recent solicitations show tomato products mixed into broader fresh-produce and prepared-food buys rather than as standalone line items; the code appears in multi-item procurement bundles where tomatoes arrive as components of larger grocery, produce, or food-service supply contracts. State institutions dominate the buyer mix: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice issue frequent, large-volume food service bids; Illinois Department of Corrections and Illinois Department of Mental Health procure produce contracts for institutional feeding; school districts in Georgia and Texas regularly solicit fresh and processed vegetables including tomatoes as part of National School Lunch Program supply agreements. These agencies cycle procurement annually or semi-annually to align with fiscal and school years, with contract terms typically running twelve months through June 30.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Texas, where HHSC and TDCJ are persistent high-volume buyers, followed by Georgia (school districts and state agencies) and Illinois (corrections and mental health facilities). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026) for consumables including prepared foods and supplies for Lufkin State Supported Living Center under a one-year term; the Bartow County School System's Request for Proposal 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables (posted May 21, 2026, due June 22, 2026) covering seasonal produce delivery to a central warehouse; and the Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed-bid procurement for fresh produce across 24 school nutrition sites (posted May 19, 2026, due June 16, 2026) with unit-price quotes required and firm pricing for the entire contract period. Delivery requirements emphasize speed (seven days or less from order), refrigeration, F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight prepaid, and strict compliance with USDA and food-safety standards. Vendors must carry general liability insurance (typically $500,000 to $1 million), comply with E-Verify, submit references, and pass suspension-and-debarment verification for awards above $25,000.
