The variety of organic potatoes known as organic russet potatoes

UNSPSC 50415604 Organic russet potatoes is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local food-service operations, particularly school districts and county recreation departments that buy fresh fruits and vegetables for cafeterias, concession facilities, and institutional dining. The scope encompasses direct procurement of produce items to meet operational demand, with vendors required to meet quality standards, delivery schedules, volume requirements, and food-safety compliance. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, school districts operating National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs, state procurement offices, and health-care coalitions. School districts dominate recent activity, with line-by-line competitive bidding for 300+ food items including fresh vegetables and fruits alongside proteins, dairy, and dry goods; park concession vendors and health-care providers source produce as part of broader food-service contracts. Vendors must comply with domestic-sourcing preferences, USDA whole-grain and nutrition standards, HACCP plans, Buy American provisions, product freshness guarantees, and delivery windows specified in individual contracts.
