UNSPSC 50415605: Organic purple potatoes

The variety of organic potatoes known as organic purple potatoes

UNSPSC 50415605 Organic purple potatoes is a Commodity code with very limited recent activity in state and local procurement. The code appears to describe a narrowly specified agricultural product, yet the recent opportunities associated with it reflect broader fresh produce procurement by school districts and state agencies, not purchases of organic purple potatoes specifically. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an RFQ on May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026, for line-by-line food bids supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across three schools, encompassing approximately 300 food items plus 60 non-food and paper supplies with domestic sourcing preferences and whole-grain specifications. The State of Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce (IFB #4 2027-2026) posted April 20, 2026, due May 27, 2026, requiring delivery to designated state locations at competitive pricing. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas (RFP 2026-048) solicited fresh produce for child nutrition via RFP on April 14, 2026, due May 7, 2026, emphasizing USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance, Texas-grown produce through its Harvest of the Month program, and HACCP certification. These solicitations do not target organic purple potatoes as a line item; they reflect institutional produce procurement at the commodity level where numerous vegetable and fruit items are typically awarded to multiple vendors on a line-item basis.

School districts dominate recent solicitations under this code tier, with activity concentrated in Georgia (Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Glynn County, and Douglas County School System cooperative) and Texas (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Austin Independent School District, McAllen Independent School District). A Florida school district (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa) solicited fresh fruit and vegetable program supplies via RFP 26039RFQDST posted April 13, 2026, due March 11, 2026 (response date already passed), for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at approximately 18 elementary schools. Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri issued an IFB for over 900 line-item grocery items posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026, encompassing fruits, vegetables, breads, and dairy across nearly 19,000 students. The code shows no targeted solicitations for organic purple potatoes as a standalone product; instead it is tagged to broad institutional fresh produce procurement where individual produce items compete on price, quality, and vendor capacity to deliver weekly or multiple times per week to school nutrition programs. Vendors pursuing institutional produce supply should note that school districts increasingly emphasize domestic sourcing, USDA compliance, HACCP certification, temperature-controlled delivery, and line-item evaluation allowing multiple award winners per solicitation.
