UNSPSC 50425603: Dried round red potatoes

The variety of potatoes known as round red potatoes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50425603 Dried round red potatoes is a Commodity code that encompasses bulk dried legumes and potato products for institutional meal service and food-supply programs. State and local governments solicit under this code to provision correctional facilities, child and adult care programs, school districts, and other public agencies with shelf-stable protein and starch ingredients suitable for high-volume cooking and meal preparation. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices, city procurement departments, and municipal food-service operations; recent activity shows repeat buyers in Georgia (state purchasing and correctional industries), Oregon (corrections and institutional procurement), and Texas (criminal justice and municipal meal programs).

Recent opportunities reveal the actual scope of work under the code. The Georgia Department of Corrections issued RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 on October 2, 2026, requesting kidney beans in increments of 880 bags with delivery due October 9, 2026, on an all-inclusive FOB destination basis. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted bid S2910000017140 on June 5, 2026, for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, triple-cleaned, with bids due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST, and a combined 10 percent evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered vendors; the historical purchase price was $0.493 per pound. The State of Oregon also solicited dried black beans (S2910000017705) due August 21, 2026, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for cafeteria food products including proteins, dairy, grains, and vegetables across five geographic distribution areas, with response due May 4, 2026.
