UNSPSC 50405715: Tomasa potatoe

A variety of potatoe popularly known as "white" that comes from the valleys of Huancavelica and Ascension. Popular chips that are produced industrially, are made with this variety.

UNSPSC 50405715 Tomato potato is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as fresh produce components in school nutrition programs, child care food services, and institutional food supply contracts. Recent solicitations show that the code encompasses both whole fresh potatoes and processed or pre-cut potato products delivered to school districts, county boards of education, and public institutions. The issuing bodies are primarily school nutrition programs across multiple states—including Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri—along with Head Start child care facilities and state departments of criminal justice. Potatoes appear in these solicitations as line items within larger fresh-produce or food-product bids rather than as standalone procurements, typically priced per pound or per case and subject to USDA quality standards, HACCP compliance, and delivery to multiple school sites or institutional warehouses.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers heavily on Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting bids for white potatoes for canning under IFB IW253099 with a June 23, 2026 response date; Bartow County School System in Georgia seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables—including potatoes sourced within 400 miles—under RFP 10-2026-019 with a June 22, 2026 deadline; the Bulloch County School District in Georgia issuing an Invitation for Proposal for locally grown produce including potatoes grown within 200 miles, with proposals due May 4, 2026; and Dougherty County Board of Education in Georgia requesting sealed bids for fresh produce covering multiple potato line items with a June 16, 2026 bid opening. School nutrition procurements emphasize firm pricing for contract periods (typically July through June aligned to the school year), weekly or biweekly delivery to multiple sites, compliance with Buy American provisions, and HACCP certification. Institutional food service contracts—particularly those issued by state departments of criminal justice in Texas—procure potatoes in bulk quantities for inmate meal service and specify F.O.B. Destination delivery with 30-day firm pricing. Recent awards and contract values are not disclosed in the source materials.
