UNSPSC 50445601: Frozen long white potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50445601 Frozen long white potatoes is a Commodity code that captures institutional and school food service procurement for prepared frozen potato products—french fries, wedges, tater tots, and similar processed forms—rather than raw potatoes. State and local buyers purchasing under this code are seeking ready-to-cook frozen potato items for cafeteria operations, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers, with specifications emphasizing Grade A or B products, Instant Quick Frozen (IQF) processing, and extended shelf life suitable for bulk institutional use.

Oregon Department of Corrections has been the dominant issuer under this code in the recent window, posting multiple frozen-potato ITBs alongside broader frozen-vegetable solicitations. The Oregon preferences—five percent for Oregon-fabricated goods and five percent for resident bidders, totaling ten percent—represent the state's approach to supporting regional suppliers. Beyond Oregon, school districts across Georgia (Bulloch County, Early County, Burke County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Decatur City Schools) and other states issue comprehensive food-service solicitations that may tag frozen potatoes within broader grocery or frozen-food line items, though these are often embedded in larger procurement scopes. Correctional facilities in Pennsylvania and Texas, state health and human services agencies in Texas and New Jersey, and large urban school districts (Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools) round out the issuing-body mix. The code shows steady activity among corrections departments and school nutrition programs seeking to contract for consistent supply of prepared frozen potato products at firm fixed pricing delivered FOB destination. The Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017439 for frozen potato products (french fries, wedges, and tater tots)—approximately 120,000 pounds across three full truckloads—due July 24, 2026, with award to the lowest responsive bid and JNS Foods as the prior award holder at $0.3811 per pound, exemplifies recent activity. Geographic concentration appears strongest in the Pacific Northwest and Upper South, with Oregon leading in frequency and Georgia school districts representing the largest regional cluster of education-sector buyers.
