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 potatoe is a Commodity code representing fresh potato supply to state and local food service operations, including institutional cafeterias, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, and emergency management. Recent solicitations show procurement focused on bulk white potatoes for canning and institutional food service, fresh potatoes as components of cafeteria and school meal supply contracts, and processed potato products (french fries, hashbrown patties) for facility food service. State and local buyers include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for state-supported living centers, Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs in Georgia and Wisconsin, and county health and human services departments. HHSC and TDCJ appear as repeat buyers, issuing multiple overlapping food service solicitations throughout the fiscal year.

Activity concentrates in Texas, with secondary activity in Georgia and scattered procurement in Illinois, Wisconsin, Florida, and other states. Texas accounts for the largest volume, driven by HHSC's recurring consumables and canteen groceries bids for multiple state-supported living centers (Lufkin, Mexia) and TDCJ's blanket fresh-produce and cafeteria-food solicitations serving correctional facilities statewide. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center Consumables Foods, due October 23, 2026) requesting french fries, hashbrown patties, and associated food service supplies on a 22-line-item scope; Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB IW267420 (Fresh Fruit and Vegetables for TDCJ Snyder Food Warehouse, due October 14, 2026); the Dougherty County Board of Education School Nutrition Program sealed-bid procurement for fresh produce (bids due June 16, 2026) covering 40 line items including potatoes with estimated yearly usage of up to 1,200 units; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB 304T-26-300CF (Cafeteria Food Products for TDCJ warehouses, due May 4, 2026 with extension to May 4, 2026) encompassing approximately 382 food line items including potato products on FOB Destination terms to multiple Texas distribution points.
