UNSPSC 50405701: Long white potatoes

The variety of potatoes known as long white potatoes

UNSPSC 50405701 Long white potatoes is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh potatoes, primarily white and russet varieties, for institutional food service—including correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and health-care operations. Recent solicitations show demand for bulk white potatoes delivered to central food warehouses, ready-to-eat prepared potato products (french fries, hashbrown patties) for canteen and campus operations, and fresh whole potatoes for weekly delivery to correctional and residential facilities. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice emerges as a repeat buyer, soliciting white potatoes for canning and bulk institutional supply across multiple warehouse locations; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission regularly procures prepared potato products and canteen items for state-supported living centers. State agencies, correctional systems, and school nutrition programs dominate the issuer base, with recent activity concentrated in Texas, Illinois, Georgia, and Florida.

Recent opportunities span multiple notice types and geographies. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued bids for bulk white potatoes (IW253099, due June 23, 2026) and sweet potatoes for canning (IW253121, due June 23, 2026) through its Procurement Portal; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited prepared food items including french fries and hashbrown patties for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026) and consumables for Mexia State Supported Living Center (IFBs HHS0017799 and HHS0017798, due August 25, 2026). The Illinois Department of Corrections procured fresh produce including potatoes, onions, and peppers for Joliet Treatment Center (RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, small business set-aside, due September 3, 2026). School districts in Georgia—Dougherty County Board of Education and Bryan County Schools—bid fresh produce including potatoes for school nutrition programs (bids due June 16 and May 27, 2026 respectively). Delivery expectations are tight, typically seven to fourteen calendar days from order, with F.O.B. Destination pricing standard and vendor responsibility for all freight and handling costs.
