UNSPSC 50485604: Russet potato purees

The variety of potatoes known as russet potatoes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485604 Russet potato purees (Commodity) covers prepared potato products for institutional food service, though the recent opportunity block shows minimal direct solicitation of russet potato purees as a standalone line item. State and local governments acquire this commodity primarily as part of broader food-service provisioning for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and health service agencies. The work involves supplying pre-processed potato products — typically frozen or refrigerated russet potato purees, french fries, and hashbrown patties — to institutional kitchens on fixed delivery schedules, usually within seven days of order receipt on an FOB Destination basis with freight prepaid and included in unit pricing. Issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions (Texas HHS Commission), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), county social services agencies (Gwinnett County), and state-level procurement divisions. Texas HHS Commission appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple recent solicitations for consumable foods and supplemental food products that implicitly include potato-based products within broader food-service line-item arrays.

Recent opportunities confirm activity across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 (bids due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, encompassing prepared foods including hashbrown patties and french fries as part of a 22-line-item procurement; a prior HHS solicitation (HHS0017872, posted August 11, 2026) similarly specified hashbrown patties and french fries within a fiscal year 2027 food package. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 on October 13, 2026 (quotes due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomato procurement (S2910000017145, posted June 5, 2026, bids due June 19, 2026) and a potato-variety solicitation (S2910000017460, posted July 17, 2026, bids due July 27, 2026), though the potato solicitation materials provided do not include specification detail. School districts in Georgia — Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, bids due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (bids due June 5, 2026 at 3:00 PM) — seek comprehensive food bids encompassing fresh, frozen, and prepared produce. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procuring through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (response deadline extended via addendum to May 4, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Central Time). Potato purees as discrete commodity items remain embedded within these broader institutional food bundles rather than solicited independently.
