UNSPSC 50425605: Dried purple potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50425605 Dried purple potatoes (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local solicitation activity posted under this code. The most recent opportunities tagged to this Commodity include kidney beans, dried black beans, dried pinto and red beans, and broader cafeteria food products — none specifically for dried purple potatoes. The code nominally describes a narrow product line, but the solicitations on record are for institutional bulk dried legumes and general food procurement serving correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agency meal services.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing dried legumes and institutional food supplies include the Georgia Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois (institutional facilities), City of Edinburg, Texas (child and adult care food program), Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, and the State of Oregon. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ (due October 9, 2026) for 880 bags of kidney beans with all-inclusive delivery pricing; the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026), offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered bidders; and the Texas Comptroller, procuring on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (extended to May 4, 2026). Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, and Texas. The mismatch between the Commodity code's stated scope and actual procurement opportunities suggests this code carries minimal relevant business-development signal for vendors seeking dried purple potato contracts under state and local vehicles.
