UNSPSC 50435601: Dried organic long white potatoes

The variety of organic potatoes known as organic long white potatoes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50435601 Dried organic long white potatoes is a Commodity code that encompasses procurement of dried potato products for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct solicitation under this specific code. State and local governments purchasing under this code typically acquire dried potatoes for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and other large-scale institutional meal service operations where shelf-stable, bulk-format starches support high-volume food preparation. The issuing bodies soliciting food products in the recent opportunities include state departments of corrections and school districts across multiple states, with school nutrition programs being the most active purchasers of institutional grocery items and produce.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia based on recent procurement postings. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple bids for dried legumes (pinto beans and red beans) in March and June 2026, establishing a pricing precedent and demonstrating correctional facilities' reliance on shelf-stable protein sources; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic areas via IFB 304T-26-300CF with response due May 4, 2026, encompassing 382 line items including grains and staple items that would compete with dried potato products. School districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia are actively procuring fresh produce and grocery items for school nutrition programs—the Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) issued grocery solicitation CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027 due April 29, 2026, the Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) posted Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 due April 27, 2026, and multiple Georgia school systems including Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County released produce ITBs in March and April 2026. However, these recent opportunities focus primarily on fresh produce, proteins, and specialty grocery items; dried potato products do not appear as standalone line items in the posted solicitations, suggesting limited current volume under this specific code or possible misclassification of dried potato purchases under broader grocery or starch commodity codes.
