UNSPSC 50630302: Sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped potatoes

Non-GMO sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped potatoes imported into the United States.

UNSPSC 50630302 Sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped potatoes is a Commodity code that captures state and local government purchases of processed potato products for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show governments buying fresh-cut potatoes ready for immediate use in meal preparation, along with whole potatoes for canning and storage, reflecting a mix of ready-to-eat convenience items and bulk institutional-supply quantities.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with state departments of criminal justice as significant secondary buyers. Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with scattered opportunities in Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, and other states. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple carrot and potato bids (white potatoes, sweet potatoes for canning) in the past four months, suggesting regular institutional procurement cycles; the Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin is seeking approximately 5,900 weekly servings of ready-to-eat fresh fruit and vegetables under RFB 4163 (due July 29, 2026), with produce sourced within 400 miles and certified by the Wisconsin Supplier Diversity Program, subject to a 5% diverse-owned-business preference. The Bartow County School System in Georgia issued RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables (due June 22, 2026) from farms within 400 miles, with Dougherty County Board of Education in Georgia requesting sealed bids for fresh produce including potatoes and carrots (due June 16, 2026) across 24 nutrition sites. Early County Board of Education in Georgia (due June 8, 2026) and Glynn County Board of Education (due April 14, 2026) both solicited produce including potatoes in line-by-line food bids. Northside Independent School District in Texas (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026) sought fresh produce compliant with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable standards for delivery to 117 campuses, five days per week. Pricing is typically firm for the initial contract period, with adjustments thereafter tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service reports or Consumer Price Index data. Insurance requirements commonly specify $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability depending on contract scope, and HACCP certification with 24/7 recall capability is standard.
