UNSPSC 50485607: New potato purees

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

UNSPSC 50485607 New potato purees (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity primarily as a component of broader food-service solicitations by public institutions — state health and human services agencies, county and school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities — rather than as a standalone product line. When potato purees or prepared potato products surface in recent bids, they typically sit alongside dozens or hundreds of other food line items (frozen French fries, hashbrown patties, prepared vegetables, proteins, dairy, and consumable kitchen supplies) within comprehensive food-service contracts. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments of health and human services, state correctional agencies, county school districts, and county senior services programs. These jurisdictions buy food through IFBs and IWQs with responses due in weeks, not months, and expect F.O.B. Destination delivery within days to weeks of order placement to multiple facility locations.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs in 2026 for food and consumables serving state supported living centers and state hospitals — HHS0018082 (Lufkin, due October 23, 2026), HHS0017872 (Lufkin FY27, due August 25, 2026), and HHS0017449 (El Paso, due July 13, 2026) — with historical contract values reaching $1.5 million annually and estimated three-year ceilings of $4.5 million. Georgia school districts posted food bids in May and June 2026: Ben Hill County Schools (IFB, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bid, due June 5, 2026), both requiring hundreds of line-item quotes across produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods with weekly deliveries to multiple schools. Gwinnett County requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods (due October 19, 2026) for senior services. Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes in June 2026 with a 5% Oregon-resident preference. The code shows no identifiable recent standalone potato-puree solicitations; potato products appear only as minor line items within large institutional food contracts.
