UNSPSC 50435608: Dried organic specialty potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50435608 Dried organic specialty potatoes (Commodity) covers institutional bulk procurement of dried legumes and specialty potato products for state and local food-service operations, correctional facilities, school meal programs, and child-care meal services. The code's recent activity reflects solicitations for triple-cleaned dried beans (black, pinto, red, and kidney varieties) and weekly food orders for institutional kitchens, rather than specialty potato products specifically. State and local agencies buy these commodities in large quantities—measured in thousands of pounds or hundreds of bags—for meal preparation under USDA and state food-safety standards. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices acting on behalf of department agencies, city and county child-care and meal-program administrators, and institutional food-service coordinators. The procurement pattern shows recurring buys driven by facility meal volumes and meal-program compliance calendars rather than one-time purchases.

Recent activity clusters in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, IFB due June 19, 2026) with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon fabrication and headquarters; the State of Oregon also solicited dried black beans, triple-cleaned (S2910000017705, RFQ due August 21, 2026) for institutional use statewide. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026), while the Texas Comptroller's office, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products including specialty items across multiple warehouse locations (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a child and adult care meal program serving 400 children daily (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) with local-vendor preference under Texas Government Code Section 271.9051, and the State of Illinois posted a weekly food order for the July-September quarter (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026). All solicitations emphasize FOB destination delivery, USDA compliance, and all-inclusive pricing with no separate freight reimbursement.
