UNSPSC 50221304: Potato flour

Flour that is made from dried potatoes

UNSPSC 50221304 Potato flour is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within broader food procurement. State and local governments buy potato flour primarily as an ingredient in institutional food service operations—school cafeterias, correctional facilities, and state-supported care centers—where it serves as a baking supply, thickening agent, or specialty ingredient in prepared foods. The purchasing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional systems. The recent opportunities posted under related food categories (school nutrition programs, institutional cafeteria supply, and state health services food procurement) show that potato flour moves as part of larger food-supply contracts rather than as a standalone line item; when named explicitly in broader solicitations, it appears among dozens of grain and baking products competing for vendor attention within comprehensive food service RFPs and IFBs.

Recent state and local activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a response deadline of July 13, 2026, covering goods under multiple NIGP classifications including grains and baking supplies; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF via the Statewide Procurement Division for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and baking supplies with a May 4, 2026 response deadline; and the Douglas County School System in Georgia released RFP 26-003 in January 2026 for food supply and distribution serving approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of $9 million. The Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia posted IFB for Food SY26-27 in March 2026 for over 400 food items across multiple categories to supply 13 school sites. Potato flour as a discrete commodity lacks a dedicated recent solicitation in the available records; it surfaces only within these broader institutional food-service procurements where it competes alongside dozens of other grains, starches, and baking inputs.
