UNSPSC 50416300: Organic sweet potatoes

The type of organic vegetable known as organic sweet potatoes

UNSPSC 50416300 Organic sweet potatoes is a Class code that covers the procurement of fresh organic sweet potato products by state and local government food service operations. State and local agencies solicit produce through a mix of direct food-service contracts, cooperative purchasing arrangements, and line-item food bids integrated into broader food-supply solicitations. The work spans both routine operational procurement — such as ongoing produce delivery to cafeterias, parks concessions, and healthcare facilities — and episodic bids where organic sweet potatoes are one line item among dozens or hundreds of food products required to meet annual food-service budgets. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, county commissioners' parks divisions, state departments, and healthcare coalitions; school districts and county government procurement offices are the primary buyers in the recent record.

Recent activity appears across Georgia and Florida. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 encompassing approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia issued a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation due June 22, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division posted an Invitation to Negotiate for food and beverage services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025, requiring diverse produce options for concessions and high-volume park events. Marion Health Care Coalition (MHCC) sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 contract period covering fresh fruits and vegetables delivery. School district food-service bids typically include firm pricing for 15 days post-award, Buy American compliance, HACCP plan requirements, and general liability insurance; piggybacking by other districts on identical terms is permitted.
