UNSPSC 50495500: Organic potato purees

The type of organic vegetable known as organic potatoes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50495500 Organic potato purees, a Class code, shows minimal relevant recent activity. State and local governments buying under this code procure specialty food items for institutional foodservice — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, health and human services centers, and veterans' homes. The code's nominal scope targets organic potato purees specifically, yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for that product line. Instead, the available records show state and local procurement offices issuing bids for broad food categories — canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, bread, dairy, proteins, and prepared entrees — across institutional cafeterias and food service distribution networks. When a code shows no directly matching opportunities in recent posting activity, the signal is clear: either demand for the specific commodity is infrequent, or procurement offices are tagging broader food service solicitations under higher-level UNSPSC families rather than this narrow Commodity code.

The recent opportunities across food service procurement originate from school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI and Liberty County Schools in Missouri; Burke County, Ben Hill County, and Muscogee County Schools in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, State of Georgia), and independent facilities (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). These solicitations — issued as IFBs, RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs — specify delivery across multiple school sites, procurement cycles running July 1 through June 30, firm fixed pricing requirements, and Buy American Act compliance. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. Since this code shows no current market activity for organic potato purees specifically, business development should monitor higher-level produce and prepared-food families (UNSPSC 50491500 Potato products or 50000000 Agricultural products) for institutional food service opportunities and track when procurement offices begin segregating organic specialty items as distinct line items within broader food service RFPs.
