UNSPSC 50485600: Potato purees

The type of vegetable known as potatoes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485600 Potato purees is a Class code that represents a narrow commodity within food product procurement, but recent state and local opportunities show this code receives minimal direct solicitation activity. The few opportunities visible in recent posting data focus instead on broader food service categories—canned goods, fresh produce, frozen items, and general grocery supplies—rather than potato purees as a standalone line item. State and local governments buying under this code's parent families typically procure potato products as components of larger food service contracts for school districts, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers, where potatoes (fresh, frozen, or processed) appear as one among hundreds of line items in comprehensive meal and nutrition programs.

Recent activity shows no direct solicitations for potato purees in isolation. Instead, potato products surface within larger food procurement efforts: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables (due July 13, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food procurement (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026); and school district nutrition bids from Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, Master Grocery K-12, due April 27, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District (grocery items and NOI products, due April 29, 2026). These solicitations span Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon, with school districts and state agencies as primary issuing bodies. The absence of standalone potato puree bids suggests this commodity is typically bundled within broader grocery or prepared-food contracts rather than bid separately; vendors pursuing state and local food service work should expect potatoes to be one specification within multi-hundred-item RFPs and IFBs, not as discrete opportunities.
