UNSPSC 50485603: Round red potato purees

The variety of potatoes known as round red potatoes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485603 Round red potato purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct activity in recent state and local procurement. The code nominally covers processed potato products in puree form, but the solicitations tagged under it span a broader scope of food service consumables for institutional buyers — state supported living centers, corrections departments, school nutrition programs, and county social services — rather than specifically targeting potato purees. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods and food service supplies at state supported living centers (HHS0017449 for El Paso, HHS0017872 and HHS0018082 for Lufkin), each encompassing 20–22 line items of prepared foods and supplies; those notices do not isolate potato products as a distinct line item but bundle them within broader food procurement. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to TDCJ warehouse locations spans approximately 382 line items across proteins, grains, dairy, and produce but does not single out potato purees. School district nutrition programs in Georgia and beyond procure comprehensively across food categories with no visible segregation of potato products. Oregon's bid S2910000017145 for canned tomatoes (not potatoes) and an Oregon potato variety bid (S2910000017460) with insufficient posted detail further suggest the actual procurement under this code is sparse and fragmented.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with Texas issuers (HHSC, TDCJ via the Texas Comptroller) posting the most frequent notices. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia posted IWQ 140229 for shelf-stable food items for Community Services (due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issued an IFB for comprehensive school nutrition procurement due June 15, 2026. Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia sought sealed bids for school nutrition food (due June 5, 2026). The Illinois State agency posted FY-27 IVHQ weekly food orders (due June 26, 2026). These opportunities reflect institutional food service demand but do not consistently feature round red potato purees as a standalone procurement line; potato products, when present, appear embedded within larger consolidated food buys. The code shows little recent activity where potato purees are the primary or named commodity being solicited.
