UNSPSC 50445602: Frozen round white potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50445602 Frozen round white potatoes (Commodity) represents a narrow slice of state and local procurement activity focused on frozen potato products for institutional food service — primarily correctional facilities, school districts, and state-supported living centers. The code shows recent solicitation activity concentrated on frozen french fries, potato wedges, and tater tots rather than round whole potatoes, indicating that actual procurement under this code emphasizes processed frozen potato convenience items meeting high-volume, cost-controlled institutional meal requirements rather than raw ingredient forms.

Recent activity clusters heavily in Oregon, Texas, and scattered school districts across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for frozen potato products (french fries, wedges, and tater tots) with 120,000-pound quantities due July 24, 2026, under Solicitation S2910000017439 with ITB notice type and Oregon processing/resident bidder preferences of up to ten percent combined. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products including frozen specialty entrees and potato items across five TDCJ warehouse locations, with the original April 21, 2026 deadline extended to May 4, 2026 via Addendum No. 2. Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumable procurement (HHS0016792V2, updated February 26, 2026, original deadline March 19, 2026) includes frozen specialty foods and potatoes for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. School nutrition programs including Dallas ISD (RFP JC250079, April 2, 2026 due), Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, April 27, 2026), and multiple Georgia county school districts round out the issuing-body mix. Price benchmarks from recent awards show frozen potato products ranging from $0.38 to $0.40 per pound (ODOC January 2026 award to JNS Foods at $0.3811 per pound for 18-pound bags), with delivery FOB destination and firm, fixed pricing the standard requirement across all buyers.
