UNSPSC 50465607: Canned or jarred new potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50465607 Canned or jarred new potatoes, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service operations. This code appears only occasionally in discrete procurements; state and local buyers instead purchase canned potatoes as line items within large aggregated food solicitations covering dozens or hundreds of food products for school nutrition programs, institutional feeding, and state-operated facilities.

State and local governments sourcing under this code span school districts (including Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Ben Hill County Schools, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Georgia state operations), and county systems across the South and Midwest. Recent activity shows school nutrition programs and state institutional feeding operations as the primary buyers. Representatives of current procurement include Ben Hill County Schools' FY-27 food bid (IFB, due June 15, 2026), seeking multiple food categories with monthly pricing adjustments and Buy American requirements; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's El Paso State Supported Living Center procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products with firm pricing and CPI-indexed adjustments; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 procurement (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring weekly delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with nine-month minimum shelf life. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts and state operations), Texas (HHS facilities), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home), and Virginia (Fairfax County). The procurement pattern reflects demand-driven institutional usage rather than commercial retail sales, with contracts typically running July through June for school years and requiring firm fixed pricing with limited escalation tied to published cost indices or allowing adjustments only by mutual written agreement. No recent opportunities specifically isolate canned or jarred potatoes as a standalone commodity; the code's activity appears embedded within food service aggregations where potatoes compete for line items against dozens of alternative starches and prepared sides.
