UNSPSC 50425607: Dried new potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50425607 Dried new potatoes (Commodity) covers institutional dried bean and legume procurement by state correctional, education, and child nutrition programs. State and local governments actually buy dried beans — black, pinto, red, and kidney varieties — triple-cleaned and meeting USDA grade standards, for bulk institutional cooking in prison food services, school meal programs, and child-care nutrition initiatives. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state procurement offices acting for correctional industries, city child-nutrition programs, and state educational procurement divisions. The scope is narrower than the code name suggests; recent solicitations name kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, red beans, and related dried legumes rather than potatoes, and specifications consistently emphasize food-safety compliance (FDA, USDA, HACCP standards), moisture content limits, foreign-material removal, and bulk palletized delivery to institutional food-service points.

The code sees activity concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast, with recent solicitations posted by the Oregon Department of Corrections (S2910000017140, June 2026, for 42,500 pounds of pinto and red beans, bids due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST) and the State of Oregon general procurement (S2910000017705, August 2026, black beans triple-cleaned, due August 21, 2026); Georgia Correctional Industries (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, October 2026, kidney beans in 880-bag increments, due October 9, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026); and the State of Illinois (FY-27 IVHQ quarterly food order, June 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted a CACFP meal-program RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) encompassing five supply categories including proteins and food products for 400 children daily, though the summary does not detail dried-legume line items within that scope. Oregon offers a combined 10% evaluation preference for in-state fabrication and headquarters location; Texas applies a 1.5 percent SmartBuy administrative fee to all food purchases. Delivery terms are consistently FOB destination with palletization, domestic lead times between 30 and 45 days, and compliance certifications required at award.
