UNSPSC 50465602: Canned or jarred round white potatoes

The variety of potatoes known as round white potatoes that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50465602 Canned or jarred round white potatoes (Commodity) appears in recent state and local procurement primarily as one line item within broader food-service solicitations rather than as a standalone category. State and local governments procure canned potatoes as part of institutional food supply contracts for schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services centers, typically bundled with dozens or hundreds of other prepared foods, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and consumable supplies. The mix of issuing bodies reflects the institutional foodservice landscape: school districts dominate the activity (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Burke County Public Schools, Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Georgia; Douglas County School System, Georgia; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia), with state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), and state veterans' homes (Illinois Veterans Home) also regularly soliciting. School districts appear far more frequently than other issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block, reflecting the scale and consistency of school nutrition procurement.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the scope. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and canned goods as one category among many. Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia solicited a Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) to supply 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens with nearly 400 food line items, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri separately solicited grocery items and net-off-invoice products (due April 29, 2026) spanning over 900 line items. Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple solicitations for specific canned goods—canned tomatoes (S2910000016405, due June 19, 2026 for 7,616 cases) and tomato paste (S2910000016089, due March 9, 2026 for 1,904 cases)—showing that while commodity-specific bids occur, they remain exception rather than rule. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in the Midwest (Missouri, Illinois) and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia). No opportunities in the block name round white potatoes specifically; the code shows minimal standalone procurement activity and appears primarily as a nested item within consolidated institutional food-service contracts.
