UNSPSC 50425605: Dried purple potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50425605 Dried purple potatoes is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity specifically aligned to this product line. The single opportunity sourced under this code appears misaligned with the code's scope: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016233 on March 6, 2026, for dried pinto and red beans (not purple potatoes) with a response deadline of March 20, 2026. The broader context of recent state and local food procurement activity shows heavy solicitation for fresh produce, eggs, prepared entrees, dairy, proteins, and staple grocery items across school districts, state correctional facilities, and municipal child nutrition programs—but no current solicitations explicitly naming dried purple potatoes as a line item.

School districts and state departments remain the primary issuing bodies in the produce and food supply space, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all soliciting grocery and fresh produce contracts in the past four months. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and state nutrition agencies in Illinois and Georgia also participate in food procurement. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Virginia, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs and correctional facilities driving the volume. However, the code shows no recent dedicated solicitations for dried purple potatoes; vendors pursuing this commodity should monitor school district RFPs and state correctional facility food service contracts for line-item inclusion rather than expect standalone procurements.
