UNSPSC 50475603: Canned or jarred organic round red potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50475603 Canned or jarred organic round red potatoes is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable potato products, typically as components of larger food service contracts rather than as standalone line items. Recent opportunities show the code embedded within multi-category food procurement by institutional food service operations—school districts, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies procuring canned vegetables as part of broader weekly or annual grocery and consumables bids. The scope spans standard USDA-compliant canned or jarred preparations (whole, sliced, or diced) with specified sodium content limits, shelf-life minimums, and compliance with FDA and USDA standards. Issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state supported living centers and state hospitals), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy). No single jurisdiction appears as a dominant repeat buyer under this specific code in the recent record.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, particularly multiple school districts in the region) and in Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including canned goods for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, specifying firm fixed unit rates on pricing sheets; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomato products (approximately 7,616 cases), due June 19, 2026, with USDA Grade B or better and sodium not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for a comprehensive food bid encompassing canned fruits and vegetables with Buy American Act compliance, due June 15, 2026; and Rockwood R-VI School District's concurrent solicitations for both Grocery NOI and Grocery Items (over 900 line items across multiple categories including canned goods) for the 2026-27 school year, due April 29, 2026. Canned potatoes typically appear as one line item among dozens or hundreds in master grocery and food service contracts; standalone or high-volume canned potato procurements are not evident in the recent record, suggesting the commodity is purchased as fill-in inventory rather than as a primary procurement driver.
