UNSPSC 50475601: Canned or jarred organic long white potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50475601 Canned or jarred organic long white potatoes is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable potato products for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments acquire canned or jarred potatoes as components within broader consumable-food and food-supply contracts serving state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and other institutional canteens and food service operations. The code appears in mixed contexts: sometimes as an explicit line item within multi-category food procurements, and sometimes as part of larger commodity baskets where specific potato products are listed alongside proteins, vegetables, condiments, and food service supplies. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, state correctional agencies, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state university or institutional food service operations. The scope of work under this code involves procurement officers and food-service managers sourcing canned or jarred potatoes—often in bulk cases with delivery to central distribution points, multiple facilities, or individual cafeteria locations—as part of annual or multi-year supply contracts with firm pricing, delivery requirements within 7 to 30 days of order receipt, and compliance with USDA standards and food safety regulations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for consumable foods and food products serving state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso (IFB HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026, and IFB HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026), with historical annual contract values approaching $1.5 million per facility; a statewide supplemental food procurement (IFB HHS0016792v2, due March 19, 2026, with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million) encompassed 210 line items including fresh and preserved vegetables. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's office, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 cafeteria food-product line items serving multiple warehouse distribution points. In Georgia, Gwinnett County requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools sought food products across multiple categories for four school locations (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools solicited nearly 400 line-item grocery items for five schools (due June 5, 2026). In Oregon, the Department of Corrections bid approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, with a prior award at $13.75 per case), and a potato-variety procurement (S2910000017460, due July 27, 2026) was posted but lacks detail in available materials. Illinois issued a quarterly food-order solicitation under FY-27 IVHQ (due June 26, 2026). Most contracts emphasize F.O.B. Destination delivery, compliance with federal food safety standards and USDA grades, firm fixed pricing with limited escalation provisions, and vendor performance evaluation based on specification conformance, delivery timeliness, and cost.
