UNSPSC 50475607: Canned or jarred organic new potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50475607 Canned or jarred organic new potatoes (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within broader state and local food procurement, where recent solicitations show minimal direct demand for this specific item but substantial activity in canned vegetable categories more broadly. State and local governments—primarily school districts, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and veterans facilities—purchase canned and jarred vegetables as part of large-scale food service supply contracts covering hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, and staple categories. The code sits within food procurement ecosystems where organic specification and the new potatoes subcategory appear only incidentally, if at all, in recent RFP and IFB notices; instead, issuing bodies solicit generalized canned vegetables (tomatoes, mixed vegetables, condiments) as components of annual or quarterly food supply agreements.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in the Southeast and Texas, driven by school district nutrition programs and state facility operations. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with line-item counts in the 210-range and contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years; Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned tomatoes repeatedly (7,616 cases in June 2026, 1,904 cases of tomato paste in February 2026); and school districts across Georgia (Savannah-Chatham, Liberty County, Douglas County, Muscogee County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Virginia (Fairfax County) have issued large food IFBs and RFPs with 400+ line items and annual terms running July 2026 through June 2027. Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy issued quarterly food RFQs (most recent, June 2026, with responses due June 26). The commodity code itself does not appear as a tagged line item in any posted solicitation; canned or jarred organic new potatoes would compete within broader canned vegetable or produce sections of multi-category food supply agreements where lowest responsive bidding and USDA grade compliance govern award.
