UNSPSC 50415606: Organic yellow potatoes

The variety of organic potatoes known as organic yellow potatoes

UNSPSC 50415606 Organic yellow potatoes is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to classify procurement of fresh potatoes for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child nutrition initiatives. Recent solicitations show school districts and county education systems are the primary buyers, procuring organic yellow potatoes as part of broader produce contracts that serve student meal programs. The work includes sourcing, packaging, and delivering fresh potatoes to multiple school campuses and central food service facilities, typically under annual or multi-year contracts with weekly or as-needed delivery schedules tied to meal production needs.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida dominate recent activity under and near this code. Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (due June 8, 2026), which solicited line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items including produce for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs; the Northside Independent School District in San Antonio's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce (due May 7, 2026) serving 127 schools across Bexar County with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable-compliant items; the Bulloch County School District's local-produce procurement (due May 4, 2026) emphasizing produce grown within 200 miles and including potatoes and sweet potatoes; the Liberty County Board of Education's IFB for produce (due April 29, 2026) covering 13 school sites; and the Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 (due April 14, 2026) soliciting 60 produce line items for 16 schools. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, pricing fixed for the contract term with mid-term adjustments permitted only when documented price increases exceed 3–5 percent, and awards made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders on a line-item basis, often allowing multiple vendors per district. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions, maintain HACCP plans and food safety certifications, carry $1–2 million general liability insurance, and meet E-Verify and debarment requirements.
