UNSPSC 50445605: Frozen purple potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50445605 Frozen purple potatoes (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. Of the 31 recent opportunities posted under or near this code, none solicit frozen purple potatoes specifically; instead, they span frozen corn, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen assorted blends, frozen french fries and wedges, and broader grocery procurement. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for frozen vegetable products—corn, assorted blends, carrots, and french fries—but no purple potato solicitations appear in the dataset. The code's activity is overwhelmingly dominated by state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Transportation), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Early County, Burke County, Decatur City Schools, Bulloch County, Ben Hill County, Rockwood R-VI, Dallas ISD), and county correctional facilities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania).

Geographic concentration is strong in the South and Southwest: Georgia (Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Early County, Burke County, Bulloch County, Decatur), Texas (TDCJ, HHSC, TxDOT, Dallas ISD), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), with secondary activity in Oregon (ODOC), Pennsylvania (Montgomery County), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education). Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 for 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn due July 24, 2026, at $0.498 per pound historical pricing; ITB S2910000017439 for 120,000 pounds of frozen french fries and wedges due July 24, 2026, at $0.3811 per pound prior cost; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million; and the Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products including frozen items due June 15, 2026. Frozen purple potato procurement does not appear in current state and local activity under this code; suppliers monitoring this classification should track the broader frozen vegetable and commodity food category activity instead.
