UNSPSC 50435607: Dried organic new potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50435607 Dried organic new potatoes (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code is sourced through institutional buyers including state correctional systems, state departments of corrections, and municipal food-service programs, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried organic potatoes. Instead, state and local jurisdictions are actively procuring closely related dried legumes and bulk institutional food supplies: Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in increments of 880 bags (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026); the State of Oregon sought dried black beans, triple-cleaned to institutional specifications (IFB S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) bid approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans meeting U.S. No. 2 grade standards (IFB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026, at $0.493 per pound historical pricing from incumbent Intersect USA). These dried-legume procurements are sourced for meal preparation and food service in correctional facilities, institutional kitchens, and child care programs under federal nutrition programs.

Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois emerge as the primary states with recent dried-goods procurement activity under related codes. The ODOC procurement in Salem applied a combined 10% evaluation preference (5% for Oregon fabrication, 5% for Oregon headquarters) and required triple-cleaned beans palletized to FOB destination within 45 days. Georgia Correctional Industries enforced strict specification-completion standards prohibiting shortcuts such as checkmarks or "comply" language, with all-inclusive pricing covering freight and tariffs in single deliveries of 880-bag increments. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued an RFP for CACFP meal supplies (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) spanning beverages, paper goods, proteins, breads, fruits, vegetables, and janitorial supplies, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 (5% price band for City of Edinburg vendors) and daily delivery requirements before noon. The State of Illinois solicited quarterly food orders (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) under standard state terms. No recent state and local opportunities explicitly procure dried organic potatoes; pursuit under this code would require tracking UNSPSC reclassification or expansion of sourcing to institutional food-service RFPs where potato products appear as line items within broader meal-supply categories.
