UNSPSC 50407204: Olluco

Variety of tuber known as olluco

UNSPSC 50407204 Olluco is a Commodity code for fresh tuberous produce used in institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and child care operations. State and local governments source olluco through competitive procurement aligned with USDA child nutrition reimbursable meal standards, often as one line item within broader fresh produce supply contracts. Recent solicitations show olluco cited tangentially or embedded within wider vegetable procurement baskets; the code does not appear to drive dedicated, high-volume demand on its own but represents a niche specialty item sourced alongside mainstream produce categories such as carrots, potatoes, and leafy greens when menus require cultural or dietary variety.

Activity under this code concentrates in school nutrition programs and child care food service across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut. School districts issue the bulk of recent solicitations—Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, McAllen Independent School District, Northside Independent School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System—alongside state departments of criminal justice (Texas TDCJ) and Head Start agencies. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issued RFB 4163 (closed July 29, 2026) for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks including specialty produce items delivered weekly in ready-to-eat form to elementary students in the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, with pricing per pound and a $0.20 preference discount applied to organic produce. Head Start of Greater Dallas, Inc. conducted IFB 26-GP (closed June 24, 2026) for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen and fresh produce meeting Child and Adult Care Food Program requirements with estimated value of $969,460.94 over multiple years. Recent Georgia procurements—Bartow County (RFP 10-2026-019), Dougherty County (BID 016-SNS-2027), Bryan County (BID), and Glynn County (IFB 27-02)—emphasize local and domestic sourcing with delivery to 14–60 school sites and contract terms typically July 1 through June 30 of the following year with renewable one-year or three-month options. The code shows steady but not intensive institutional demand; olluco itself remains a low-volume specialty item within a much larger basket of mainstream vegetables and potatoes.
