UNSPSC 50406412: Nemagold sweet potatoes

The variety of sweet potatoes known as nemagold sweet potatoes

UNSPSC 50406412 Nemagold sweet potatoes is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy sweet potatoes through this code primarily for institutional food service operations — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, child nutrition centers, and senior services. Recent solicitations show demand for fresh sweet potatoes in bulk quantities for school lunch and breakfast programs, as well as canned or processed sweet potatoes for correctional kitchen operations. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state departments of corrections across Georgia and Texas, with additional activity from special-purpose nutrition programs serving seniors and Head Start participants. School nutrition programs dominate the buyer mix, followed by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and child care food services.

Sweet potatoes appear across a mix of solicitation types: the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB IW253121 for sweet potatoes for canning with bids due June 23, 2026; Bulloch County School District in Georgia solicited fresh locally-grown produce through RFP PE55612NONST2027000000031 with proposals due May 4, 2026, explicitly listing sweet potatoes at $2.00 per pound based on prior-year pricing; and the Bartow County School System sought local fresh fruits and vegetables through RFP 10-2026-019 with a submission deadline of June 22, 2026. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (Bulloch, Bartow, Glynn, and other county school districts) and Texas (TDCJ procurement), with additional scattered school nutrition activity across Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut. Most recent opportunities require produce sourced within 200–400 miles of the buying jurisdiction, HACCP certification, food safety compliance, and delivery to multiple school sites during weekday morning hours, with contract terms typically running one school year (July through June) and renewable for additional years.
