UNSPSC 50485606: Yellow potato purees

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

UNSPSC 50485606 Yellow potato purees, a Commodity code, covers prepared potato products supplied to state and local food service operations—primarily institutional cafeterias, correctional facilities, senior centers, and state-supported living centers. State and local governments procure yellow potato purees as ingredient components within broader food-service solicitations that also include fresh and frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy, and consumable supplies. The code sits within a larger ecosystem of food procurement where potato products appear as line items among hundreds of competing food categories rather than standalone offerings. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (notably Texas HHS Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple facilities. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, which operates state supported living centers across multiple locations, has appeared repeatedly as a buyer in the recent record. Most solicitations follow a standing pattern: agencies issue annual or multi-year food supply contracts through IFB or IWQ notices, with delivery to institutional food-service points, F.O.B. Destination pricing inclusive of transportation, and 30-day or faster delivery cycles.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026), which listed french fries, hashbrown patties, and prepared foods as line items; IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026), covering food and consumable products with a historical value of $1.5 million annually; and IFB 304T-26-300CF for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (posted May 4, 2026, due May 4, 2026 and extended to May 4, 2026), spanning approximately 382 line items across TDCJ warehouse locations. Ben Hill County Schools (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (posted May 11, 2026, due June 5, 2026) in Georgia both solicited comprehensive school nutrition food bids covering hundreds of line items with Buy American requirements. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026). Potato purees do not appear explicitly in the available opportunity summaries; the code shows limited direct-solicitation visibility, suggesting that yellow potato purees—when purchased—are typically embedded as unspecified commodity line items within larger multi-category food-service contracts rather than solicited as discrete offerings.
