UNSPSC 50425610: Potato flakes/granules

Potato flakes and potato granules are forms of dehydrated potato which are particularly well suited for use in the manufacture of snack foods.

UNSPSC 50425610 Potato flakes/granules is a Commodity code covering dehydrated potato products supplied to state and local food service operations, institutional cafeterias, and school nutrition programs. State and local governments procure potato flakes and granules as ingredients for institutional meal preparation, typically as part of broader food-service or grocery-supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. The code sees activity across state departments, school districts, and specialized facilities, with purchasing often bundled into multi-category food and grocery solicitations managed through cooperative purchasing vehicles or standing agreements.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Ohio (the Ohio Department of Administrative Services and unidentified Ohio state entities posted multiple food commodity solicitations in September and October 2026) and Texas (Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission at Mexia State Supported Living Center, and Northside Independent School District in San Antonio). The most substantive recent opportunity is the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017722_V3 for assorted snack and food products at Mexia State Supported Living Center, with responses due September 9, 2026 and a historical 12-month spend baseline of $75,000; the contract runs September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with one optional one-year extension. Illinois Department of Central Management Services extended its Joint Purchase Master Contract (JPMC) for Food and Grocery Items through February 28, 2027 via change-order notice 27416CMSBOSS4B54488 (due October 29, 2026), supplying bulk grocery items including frozen foods and dietary supplements to state agencies through a punchout vehicle. Harlingen ISD issued bid GROC1026 for local groceries and miscellaneous store shelf items (due October 1, 2026). Most Ohio solicitations in the recent block lack sufficient detail to confirm scope or issuing body; Beaufort County, South Carolina's RFP #062226 for detention center food services (due June 22, 2026, now past) specified comprehensive meal preparation but did not isolate potato products as a line item.
