UNSPSC 50485606: Yellow potato purees

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

UNSPSC 50485606 Yellow potato purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as a component of broader food service supply contracts for institutional settings, particularly school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, health and human services residential centers, and veterans' homes. The code itself sees limited standalone activity; instead, yellow potato purees appear bundled within multi-category food procurement RFPs and IFBs that span dozens or hundreds of line items covering proteins, produce, dairy, frozen specialties, and prepared foods. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (K–12 nutrition programs across multiple states), state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions operating supported living centers and state hospitals, and state veterans' homes. School districts represent the dominant segment, with recent activity from Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). State health and human services agencies in Texas (HHSC and DSHS) and correctional systems in Oregon and Texas also actively procure food staples including potato products for meal service.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and Missouri school districts, with secondary activity in Texas, Virginia, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with responses due July 13, 2026, covering NIGP Class/Item numbers encompassing food service supplies; the State of Illinois quarterly FY-27 IVHQ weekly food order RFQ (solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) for the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy; Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for food products and related items across multiple categories due June 15, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring weekly delivery to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens; and the Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (due February 18, 2026) with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 serving approximately 25,500 students across 32 schools. Evaluation in school nutrition procurements typically emphasizes price, compliance with USDA nutritional standards and Buy American requirements, vendor experience with public school systems, and demonstration of HACCP protocols and food safety compliance.
