UNSPSC 50465600: Canned or jarred potatoes

The type of vegetable known as potatoes that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50465600 Canned or jarred potatoes is a Class code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable potato products — whole, diced, sliced, or specialty preparations in cans or pouches — embedded within larger food service supply contracts. Recent opportunities show the code appearing primarily as one line item or product category within broad school nutrition, institutional food service, and correctional facilities procurement, rather than as standalone single-commodity solicitations. State and local agencies buy canned potatoes as components of weekly food orders, quarterly supply agreements, and annual nutrition program contracts that encompass hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, and dry goods. Issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools), state agencies managing correctional and health facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state veterans homes, and county school nutrition programs across multiple states. School nutrition procurement dominates the activity, with food service directors and purchasing officers managing contracts that bundle canned potatoes with fresh produce, proteins, and prepared items to meet USDA Child Nutrition Program standards, Buy American requirements, and nutritional guidelines limiting sodium and added sugars.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest, with recent solicitations posted from Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), Texas (HHSC facilities statewide), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home), and Missouri (Rockwood School District). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Invitation for Bids HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products supplying the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with line-item pricing due as firm, fixed unit rates; the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) requiring bidders to respond to a minimum of 76 items for direct delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (posted March 23, 2026, due April 6, 2026) with historical pricing context; and the Rockwood R-VI School District's two-part grocery procurement (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026 at 9:45 a.m. CDT) covering over 900 line items with Net Off Invoice and commodity pricing structures. All major school and institutional contracts require firm pricing for the initial term, compliance with federal debarment and E-Verify certifications, general liability insurance starting at $500,000 per occurrence, and delivery schedules ranging from weekly to on-demand with price adjustments tied to USDA market data or Consumer Price Index after the initial contract period.
