UNSPSC 50486708: Potato yam purees

The variety of yams known as potato yams which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486708 Potato yam purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code procure shelf-stable and prepared potato and yam products—including french fries, hashbrown patties, and potato-based prepared foods—for institutional food service operations, primarily at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county human services facilities. The issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, school districts, and county governments. Work solicited includes bulk frozen potato products (french fries, hashbrown patties), canned or processed potato items, and related food service consumables as part of larger food-supply contracts. Vendors must meet USDA grade standards, provide firm fixed pricing on a per-unit or per-case basis, deliver FOB Destination within specified windows (typically 7 days of order or 30 to 72 hours), and comply with federal and state food safety, labeling, and compliance certifications (E-Verify, debarment, HACCP, Buy American Act where applicable). Contracts typically run 12 months with renewal options, and pricing often remains firm for the initial term with adjustments permitted at renewal tied to published indices such as the Consumer Price Index or USDA Agricultural Marketing Service data.

Recent activity centers in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple food-service IFBs for state-supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso, including potato products as line items within broader consumable-food contracts (HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026; HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026; HHS0016792V2, a large statewide supplemental food procurement with a potential $4.5 million value over three years). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026). Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271 due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (due June 5, 2026 with June 8 opening)—solicited comprehensive food bids including fresh and frozen produce and prepared proteins across multiple school sites. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229 due October 19, 2026). Oregon's Department of Corrections issued a bid for canned tomatoes (S2910000017145 due June 19, 2026), and a separate Oregon procurement for potato varieties was posted July 17, 2026 (due July 27) but lacked sufficient specification detail in the source.
