UNSPSC 50485608: Specialty potato purees

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

UNSPSC 50485608 Specialty potato purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's abstract title does not match the work actually being solicited under it — the recent opportunities tagged with this code cover broad food service supply including canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, dairy, proteins, and general grocery items for institutional food service operations, but specialty potato purees do not appear as a distinct line item or requirement in any of the posted solicitations. The issuing bodies soliciting food products are diverse, spanning state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), corrections departments (Oregon DOC), school districts and nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Douglas County Schools in Georgia, Liberty County and Muscogee County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Schools in Georgia), and state veterans homes (Illinois). The geographic spread of food procurement activity is broad, with recent opportunities posted from Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia.

Representative recent solicitations show the dominant pattern: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a due date of July 13, 2026, covering NIGP classes for food service and on-campus operations with a historical value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases) due April 6, 2026; Ben Hill County Schools issued IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products due June 15, 2026 covering fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and supplies across four school locations; and Fairfax County Public Schools issued Master Grocery K-12 contract IFB 2000004323 due April 27, 2026, requiring delivery of grocery items to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens. The code shows no relevant recent activity — state and local governments are procuring general institutional food products under this taxonomy entry, but specialty potato purees as a distinct commodity do not surface in current solicitation activity, signaling this code is inactive or misapplied in the recent opportunity dataset.
