UNSPSC 50630202: Sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50630202 Sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped potatoes is a Commodity code that frames state and local procurement of processed potato products—fresh-cut, pre-packaged, and ready-to-serve forms—rather than whole tubers. School districts and child nutrition programs dominate the buying under this code, sourcing pre-processed potatoes as components of meal programs and snack distributions funded by USDA reimbursement grants such as the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and state corrections agencies also purchase potatoes in bulk for institutional food service, though recent TDCJ solicitations (IW253099 and IW253121) reference whole white and sweet potatoes for canning rather than sliced or diced forms, suggesting some commodity misclassification in the source data. School nutrition procurement has historically shown stronger alignment with the code's actual scope—districts request produce in ready-to-eat, portion-controlled form for efficient cafeteria distribution.

Recent opportunities under this code center in Texas and Georgia school districts. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin issued RFB 4163 (due July 29, 2026) for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks in ready-to-eat, pre-packaged form for approximately 5,900 weekly servings under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, with a $0.20-per-pound organic preference and geographic sourcing required within 400 miles and Wisconsin. Head Start of Greater Dallas issued IFB 26-GP (due June 24, 2026) for grocery products including frozen foods and produce meeting Child and Adult Care Food Program requirements, estimated at $969,460.94 over a potential five-year term with federal Head Start funding. Georgia school systems—Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, and Liberty County—posted multiple sealed-bid and RFP solicitations for fresh produce spanning March through June 2026, with contract terms typically July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and renewal options. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida issued RFP 26039RFQDST (due March 11, 2026) for specialty fruits and vegetables under the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program serving 18 elementary schools with an estimated $600,000 annual budget. The code shows minimal recent activity outside the school nutrition and child care sectors; state vegetable procurement (Georgia IFB #4 and Texas IW253079/IW253099/IW253121) references bulk produce for institutional food service or canning rather than the sliced and pre-packaged form this commodity code nominally describes.
