UNSPSC 50475600: Canned or jarred organic potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50475600 Canned or jarred organic potatoes, a Class code, covers shelf-stable potato products in canned or jarred form that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, though recent opportunities show the code seeing limited standalone solicitation activity. State and local buyers—primarily school districts, state departments of health and human services, and state correctional facilities—source canned potatoes as part of broader food supply contracts rather than as line-item specifications. The issuing bodies include school nutrition programs across multiple states (Georgia, Missouri, Virginia), Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and Illinois Veterans Homes. These jurisdictions procure canned and jarred vegetables, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods as bundled commodity lots under IFB, RFQ, and RFP vehicles, typically with firm fixed pricing, quarterly or annual contract terms, Buy American compliance requirements, and delivery to multiple school sites or institutional facilities.

Recent procurement activity clusters in Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, TDCJ cafeteria food, statewide HHSC supplemental food), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Illinois (Veterans Homes in Quincy), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). The code itself does not appear as a standalone UNSPSC category in recent opportunities; canned potatoes are typically embedded within broader food supply line items tagged to produce, dairy, or prepared-foods categories. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million), Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026, for 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (due February 18, 2026, supporting 32 schools with approximately $9,000,000 annual expenditure). Canned potato specifications appear rarely as isolated line items; buyer demand clusters instead in multi-category food supply contracts where canned vegetables, canned fruits, and prepared potato products compete for inclusion based on price, brand equivalency, delivery capability, and compliance with USDA grades and nutritional standards.
