UNSPSC 50407205: Mashua

Variety of tubers known as mashua

UNSPSC 50407205 Mashua, a Commodity code, is not substantially active in recent state and local procurement. The source shows no solicitations specifically seeking mashua, a high-altitude Andean tuber, in state or local government food service, institutional cafeteria supply, or nutrition programs. The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual purchasing patterns reflected in the recent-opportunities block.

Recent state and local activity tagged under produce and vegetable codes centers instead on conventional fresh fruits, vegetables, and root crops (carrots, potatoes, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, apples, bananas) supplying school districts, state corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, and county parks departments across Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Issuing bodies include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, state boards of education, county school nutrition programs, and municipal parks operations. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetables for Snyder Food Warehouse (IFB IW267420, due October 14, 2026), the Bartow County School System seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 school year (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026), and the Dougherty County Board of Education requesting fresh produce for 24 school nutrition sites (IFB, due June 16, 2026). Mashua does not appear in any of these solicitations or in parallel nutrition-program procurement across the jurisdictions represented. The code merits a skip unless your firm has specific relationships with international or specialty-agriculture procurement channels not reflected in standard state and local food service purchasing.
