UNSPSC 50415602: Organic round white potatoes

The variety of organic potatoes known as organic round white potatoes

UNSPSC 50415602 Organic round white potatoes is a Commodity-tier code that covers fresh produce sourcing for institutional food service, with state and local solicitations focused primarily on school district child nutrition programs and other institutional kitchens. Recent activity shows districts and school systems purchasing potatoes as part of broader fresh-produce and grocery procurement for breakfast, lunch, and nutrition programs, often bundled with apples, carrots, onions, and other produce staples rather than as standalone line items. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and board of education entities of varying sizes—ranging from small rural districts like Early County Schools and Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia to major urban systems like Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (serving 128 schools), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (60 designated delivery sites), and McAllen Independent School District (20,000 students across 31 campuses). State agencies and county purchasing offices also solicit under related produce codes, as evidenced by Georgia state agriculture-related procurements. The code sees steady institutional demand across food-service supply chains, with contract periods typically running July 1 through June 30 and renewal options spanning up to four additional one-year terms.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (RFP response due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300 food items including fresh vegetables as part of the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs; Northside Independent School District's fresh-produce RFP 2026-048 (response due May 7, 2026) requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable-compliant produce delivery to 47 campuses with monthly price adjustments tied to USDA Specialty Crops Terminal Markets Standard Reports; Bulloch County School District's invitation for proposal for locally-grown produce within 200 miles (response due May 4, 2026) supporting its Farm to School program serving 11,200 students; and Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts across Georgia (response due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas, using net-cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing tied to USDA Atlanta Terminal Wholesale Market pricing. All solicitations require Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, weekly or twice-weekly delivery windows between early morning and early afternoon, general liability insurance (typically $1 million minimum), debarment certification, and E-Verify compliance; school districts emphasize domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products free of artificial additives.
