UNSPSC 50221304: Potato flour

Flour that is made from dried potatoes

UNSPSC 50221304 Potato flour is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice captures flour and starch-based baking and food-service ingredients procured as line items within larger food and consumable-supply contracts. State and local governments do not soliciting potato flour as a standalone category; instead, the code appears in multi-item food-service RFPs and IFBs issued by state health and human services agencies, correctional departments, and institutional food-service operations. The work involves supplying institutional cafeterias, dining facilities, and food-preparation operations at state-run facilities including correctional institutions, state hospitals, and supported-living centers. Vendors respond to line-item specifications within broader food solicitations, with pricing submitted as firm, fixed unit rates on mandatory price sheets that include delivery, handling, and all related expenses. Contract awards are made on best-value criteria incorporating specification compliance, price competitiveness, vendor performance history, and delivery timeline.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items with delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas; the response deadline was May 4, 2026, with an initial contract term through August 31, 2027, and two optional one-year renewal periods. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued 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 and a contract term from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with one renewal option. The State of Georgia issued a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) in May 2026 with a June 22, 2026, response deadline. Responses require detailed manufacturer information, nutritional data, and evidence of USDA compliance and grade certification.
