UNSPSC 50415600: Organic potatoes

The type of organic vegetable known as organic potatoes

UNSPSC 50415600 Organic potatoes is a Class code that does not align with state and local procurement activity in the recent-opportunities block. The source contains sixteen school district and state education agency solicitations for fresh produce procurement, but none explicitly names organic potatoes as a line item or scope driver. The opportunities describe comprehensive fresh produce procurement—spanning apples, bananas, leafy greens, root vegetables, berries, and eggs across multiple state and local jurisdictions—under broader commodity codes covering general produce supply. The code's specificity to organically grown potatoes does not map to the generalist fresh produce buys documented in the recent opportunities, which emphasize USDA compliance, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, Buy American provisions, and variety-driven menus without singling out organic certification as a procurement requirement or preference signal.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing bodies, with representatives across Georgia (Glynn County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), Texas (Northside Independent School District, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Utah (Salt Lake City School District), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). State education departments and the State of Georgia post commodity-level procurement notices for fresh produce, milk, dairy, and staple foods for child nutrition programs. The recent opportunities show sustained demand for fresh produce delivery tied to National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grants, and child nutrition reimbursable compliance. Representative recent solicitations include Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce with response due May 7, 2026, Bulloch County School District's local produce RFP with proposals due May 4, 2026, and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One, proposals due March 4, 2026. Activity spans late February through June 2026, with contract periods typically July 1 through June 30 and renewals for up to three or four additional one-year terms. The code itself sees no distinct recent activity; vendors pursuing organic potato supply should monitor broader Class 50415000-level produce procurement and evaluate whether districts have published addenda or amendments emphasizing organic sourcing, though the available source material does not support that signal at present.
