UNSPSC 50415602: Organic round white potatoes

The variety of organic potatoes known as organic round white potatoes

UNSPSC 50415602 Organic round white potatoes, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce supplied to state and local institutions — school districts, county parks, healthcare facilities, and state agencies — as part of broader food service and meal-program contracting. State and local governments procure potatoes and other fresh produce primarily through institutional food-service solicitations that bundle produce with other items (meats, dairy, grains, condiments) or through standalone produce-vendor requests from healthcare networks and food-service operations. School districts represent the largest and most frequent buyer segment, soliciting produce to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations; counties procure produce for parks and recreation food concessions; state agencies and healthcare coalitions request produce on a periodic basis. Solicitations typically emphasize domestic sourcing, food-safety compliance (HACCP plans, traceability documentation, recall procedures), freshness guarantees with rotate-stock requirements, and competitive pricing adjusted for seasonal availability. Vendors must hold adequate liability insurance, satisfy E-Verify and debarment verification, and often submit to piggybacking provisions allowing other districts to extend awards.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Florida, and Marion County (location unspecified in source), with school districts and county procurement offices posting the most visible opportunities. Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 that included 300+ food items encompassing vegetables and fruits alongside meats, dairy, and grains, delivered Monday through Friday to three schools with pricing firm for 15 days from award and escalation or de-escalation considered on a six-month basis. Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida solicited food services via Invitation to Negotiate due March 6, 2025 for North Collier Regional Park, requiring food vendors to provide diverse menu options including fresh produce across multiple venues; the contract carries a 10-point local-vendor preference for businesses meeting Collier or Lee County residency criteria. Marion Health Care Coalition issued a produce proposal solicitation due August 21, 2026 seeking qualified vendors to provide and deliver fresh fruits and vegetables according to operational needs and quality standards.
