UNSPSC 50435605: Dried organic purple potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50435605 Dried organic purple potatoes is a Commodity code that encompasses dried legumes and pulses for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily correctional institutions, school districts, and state procurement offices sourcing bulk dried beans and legumes for cafeteria operations, meal programs, and institutional kitchen use. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the City of Edinburg, Texas (for its Child and Adult Care Food Program) represent the principal issuing bodies. These procurement offices source products in large quantities—ranging from 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans to incremental shipments of 880 bags—with specifications tied to USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning requirements, and compliance with FDA, HACCP, and Good Manufacturing Practice protocols. Pricing is structured all-inclusive with freight and delivery incorporated; most solicitations require FOB destination delivery to institutional distribution centers or meal-preparation sites.

Oregon and Georgia show the most recent procurement activity under related codes. The Oregon Department of Corrections bid on approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% in-state preference (5% for Oregon fabrication, 5% for Oregon headquarters) and a historical price point of $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries requested bids for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, RFQ, due October 9, 2026); and the State of Oregon solicited dried black beans, triple-cleaned (S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal-program supplies including dried beans, proteins, and produce serving 400 children daily with a local-vendor preference (within 5% of lowest bid). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) covered cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas. No recent solicitations explicitly named dried organic purple potatoes; activity centers on dried pinto, red, black, and kidney beans for institutional meal preparation.
