UNSPSC 50415600: Organic potatoes

The type of organic vegetable known as organic potatoes

UNSPSC 50415600 Organic potatoes is a Class code covering fresh produce procurement, including organic and conventional fruits and vegetables supplied to state and local food-service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show governments purchasing produce for park concessions, healthcare facility food service, school meal programs, and general institutional food operations. The issuing bodies span county governments, school districts, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices. Work includes vendor selection for fresh-produce supply and delivery to multiple venues, with contracts typically requiring compliance with food-safety regulations, USDA specifications for school meal programs, temperature-controlled logistics, and inventory rotation standards. Contracts commonly include pricing-adjustment mechanisms tied to seasonal availability and commodity indices, and many include domestic-sourcing preferences and Buy American provisions.
