UNSPSC 50630102: Sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped potatoes

Sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped potatoes imported into the united states.

UNSPSC 50630102 Sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped potatoes is a Commodity code tracking state and local procurement of processed potato products—primarily frozen fries, hash brown patties, and diced or peeled fresh potatoes—for institutional food service operations including correctional facilities, mental health centers, supported living centers, school districts, and senior services. Recent solicitations show a mix of prepared potato items purchased alongside broader food service supplies and fresh produce, with state-supported living centers and correctional facilities accounting for the highest volume of recent activity. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) dominate the recent procurement landscape, issuing multiple IFBs for consumables and food service groceries that bundle prepared potatoes with other prepared foods and supplies. Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health, and several Georgia school districts also appear in recent activity, reflecting broader institutional demand across state systems.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Texas, with HHSC solicitations at Lufkin and Mexia state-supported living centers posting through August and September 2026, and TDCJ issuing separate bids for white potatoes for canning (IW253099, due June 23) and fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts that include potato-based items. Georgia school districts—including Bryan County, Bartow County, Dougherty County, and Early County—are sourcing fresh and prepared produce including potatoes for the 2026-2027 school year via sealed bid and RFP processes with June and May submission deadlines. Illinois facilities (Joliet Treatment Center, Madden Mental Health Center) are procuring fresh produce that often incorporates potatoes. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables including french fries and hash brown patties, IFB due October 23, 2026) and IFB HHS0017799 (Mexia State Supported Living Center food service groceries spanning frozen vegetables and prepared entrees, bids due August 25, 2026). Collier County (Florida) issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025, though date predates the current posting window). The code shows steady institutional procurement activity tied to fiscal-year food service contracts with multi-month response windows and firm fixed pricing requirements, often bundled with broader grocery and supplies procurement rather than as standalone potato-product awards.
