UNSPSC 50475605: Canned or jarred organic purple potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50475605 Canned or jarred organic purple potatoes is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable, ready-to-serve potato products procured by state and local institutional food service operations. State and local governments buy under this code primarily to support congregate feeding programs at state hospitals, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school districts. The recent opportunities show a wider pattern: state and local food procurement encompasses bulk quantities of canned and jarred vegetables, proteins, dairy, and consumables ordered through IFBs and informal written quotes (IWQs) with response windows typically one to two weeks. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois), county systems (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and school districts across multiple states. These agencies source food through both single-vendor comprehensive awards and multi-vendor line-item splits, with delivery concentrated at institutional distribution centers, state facilities, and school campuses.

The code shows activity primarily in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary solicitation patterns in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), spanning 22 line items including prepared foods and food service supplies with F.O.B. Destination delivery within seven days; and the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent.

Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (quotes due October 19, 2026) with F.O.B.
