UNSPSC 50415608: Organic specialty potatoes

The variety of organic potatoes known as organic specialty potatoes

UNSPSC 50415608 Organic specialty potatoes is a Commodity code that describes fresh specialty potato products purchased by state and local government food service operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers are acquiring potatoes and related fresh produce as components of broader food-service contracts spanning school nutrition programs, county recreational facility concessions, and healthcare institutional dining. The issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education in Georgia), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state purchasing offices (State of Georgia), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). Food service vendors competing for these contracts must meet food-safety compliance standards, deliver products on specified schedules, maintain temperature and freshness controls, and often accommodate domestic-sourcing and nutritional-quality preferences such as whole-grain and low-sodium options.

Activity under the code reflects a geographic spread across Florida and Georgia, with recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Representative solicitations include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line bid (ITB, due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program at three schools; Collier County's Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park and Sun N Fun Water Park (ITN, due March 6, 2025), which requires food vendors to provide diverse menu options including fresh produce across multiple venues; and Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposals (due August 21, 2026) seeking fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 contract period with delivery and quality standards specified. Contract terms typically run 12 months or longer with renewal options, pricing includes transportation and packing to delivery sites, and vendors must carry commercial general liability insurance and comply with federal Buy American provisions and E-Verify requirements.
