UNSPSC 50445607: Frozen new potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50445607 Frozen new potatoes, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of fresh-frozen potato products—primarily french fries, wedges, tater tots, and whole kernel varieties—for institutional food service at correctional facilities, state supported living centers, schools, and public agencies. Recent solicitations show the code in active use across multiple issuing bodies, though the opportunities posted under it span a broader food procurement landscape that includes mixed frozen vegetables, canned goods, and shelf-stable staples not strictly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The purchasing pattern reveals a mix of state departments (corrections, health and human services), county governments, school districts, and standalone state facilities; repeat buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and multiple Georgia and Texas school systems.

Activity clusters in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Connecticut, and New Jersey, with the most recent representative opportunities posted between late August and mid-October 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000017439 for approximately 120,000 pounds of frozen potato products (french fries, wedges, tater tots) due July 24, 2026, offering a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders, with FOB destination delivery to Salem and pricing per pound including transportation prepaid; the last comparable purchase in January 2026 was awarded to JNS Foods at $0.3811 per pound for 18-pound bags. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited frozen food products broadly under IFB HHS0017338 (estimated annual volume $9 million, maximum potential contract value $19 million over the full three-year period including renewals) due August 18, 2026, encompassing frozen specialty items among 106 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued informal written quotes PE77023NONST2027000000782 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (not specifically frozen potatoes) due October 19, 2026, and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania issued two separate solicitations for groceries, meats, and paper products to its correctional facility with response deadlines in late July and late September 2026. The code sees steady regional activity but shows limited concentration among high-volume repeat procurers, suggesting fragmented demand across institutional buyers with modest individual purchase volumes.
