UNSPSC 50485607: New potato purees

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

UNSPSC 50485607 New potato purees is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line that appears in state and local food service procurement but surfaces rarely in recent solicitations. When the code does appear in practice, state and local governments buy it as part of broad food supply contracts for institutional cafeterias, nutrition programs, and food service operations rather than as a standalone line item. The recent opportunities in this dataset show school districts, state corrections facilities, state health and human services agencies, and state-run institutional care centers procuring food products under related UNSPSC codes covering canned and fresh vegetables, staple proteins, dairy, and prepared foods—categories that subsume or neighbor new potato purees in typical food service menus. Issuing bodies soliciting food products include independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, and Muscogee County School District in Georgia), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois Veterans Home, State of Georgia), and special-purpose jurisdictions and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with multiple school districts posting food procurement solicitations in the February–June 2026 window, alongside active solicitations from Texas state agencies (HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon state corrections, Illinois state veterans facilities, and Missouri school districts. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), with a historical contract value of $1.5 million and firm unit pricing on all-inclusive, FOB-destination terms; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) seeking approximately 7,616 cases with USDA Grade B or better standards and a 5% Oregon-preference adder; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for a comprehensive school nutrition food bid covering fresh and frozen produce, meat, seafood, dairy, and supplies across four schools (due June 15, 2026) with Buy American Act compliance required and contract value thresholds triggering debarment and lobbying certifications; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 bid (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring minimum three-year vendor experience, 76-item responsiveness threshold, and weekly delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. Institutional food service procurement in this space emphasizes firm, fixed pricing with FOB-destination delivery, comprehensive insurance (typically $1–2 million general liability), Buy American Act compliance, HACCP and food safety certification, and quarterly or annual contract terms with renewal options extending two to five years.
