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 is a Class code that covers preserved potato products for institutional food service. State and local procurement under this code spans bulk canned or jarred potatoes supplied to correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, and county social services departments. Recent solicitations show demand for shelf-stable potato products—french fries, hashbrown patties, and whole canned potatoes—bundled within larger consumable food procurements rather than as standalone line items. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school nutrition programs, and independent school districts. The code sees significant activity from Texas agencies (Health and Human Services Commission and Department of Criminal Justice), with additional solicitations from Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois jurisdictions.

Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple food service IFBs covering state-supported living centers and state hospitals that include potato products as part of broader consumable food packages. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB in June 2026 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (not potatoes), posted July 17, 2026 for a potato variety procurement with insufficient specification detail in the source. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each solicited comprehensive school nutrition food bids in May–June 2026 that encompassed canned vegetables and prepared potato items across multiple line items. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T26300CF in May 2026 for cafeteria food products to TDCJ warehouses statewide, with response due May 4, 2026, covering frozen specialty items and staples across five geographic distribution areas. School districts and state institutional food service operations represent the largest recent buyer segments, with response dates clustering in May–October 2026 and contract periods typically running one fiscal or calendar year with renewal options.
