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 in practice covers a broader range of dried legumes and bulk institutional food staples — including kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans — procured by state correctional systems, child nutrition programs, and state agencies for large-scale meal preparation. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state correctional departments, state education and nutrition agencies, city food-service programs serving children, and other institutional end-users requiring certified, food-safe, bulk-quantity dried legumes and related staples. The work involves sourcing triple-cleaned, USDA-graded beans meeting food-safety standards, moisture content, and foreign-material thresholds suitable for institutional cooking; suppliers must deliver on pallets with specified weight limits and demonstrate compliance with FDA, USDA, HACCP, and Good Manufacturing Practice requirements. Pricing is all-inclusive, with freight, fuel surcharges, and delivery fees bundled into unit costs; bidders submit through state procurement portals or electronic bid systems.
