UNSPSC 50455601: Frozen organic long white potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50455601 Frozen organic long white potatoes is a Commodity code that encompasses the supply of frozen organic potato products to state and local institutions, particularly school districts procuring food items for child nutrition programs. Recent state and local solicitations show that this code sits within a broader food procurement landscape where schools and state agencies source produce, proteins, and prepared foods for meal service. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts—including Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and Dallas Independent School District—alongside state procurement offices in Georgia. These entities buy frozen potatoes as one line item within comprehensive grocery and fresh-produce contracts that support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations across dozens of schools. Contract structures vary from single-vendor arrangements to multi-vendor awards with line-item allocation, and district specifications commonly mandate HACCP compliance, food recall procedures, Buy American sourcing, and delivery to multiple school sites within defined temperature and time windows.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with the most substantial recent opportunities posted by the Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 districts across two geographic areas, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million combined), Early County Board of Education (line-by-line food bid for three schools, due June 8, 2026), City Schools of Decatur (IFB for frozen foods and grocery items, due May 15, 2026), and the State of Georgia (IFB #4 2027-2026 for fresh produce, due May 27, 2026). The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items covering over 900 line items for delivery by April 29, 2026, and Dallas Independent School District issued an RFP for various food products due April 2, 2026. Frozen organic potatoes typically appear as individual line items within these broader food-service contracts rather than standalone solicitations, and vendors compete on price, compliance with nutritional and allergen specifications, delivery reliability, and service quality. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options of two to four additional years, and pricing remains firm for the initial contract year with subsequent adjustments tied to USDA market data or limited percentage thresholds.
