UNSPSC 50416302: Organic centennial sweet potatoes

The variety of organic sweet potatoes known as organic centennial sweet potatoes

UNSPSC 50416302 Organic centennial sweet potatoes, a Commodity code, sees limited direct procurement activity in state and local government. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting organic centennial sweet potatoes by that name or specification. Instead, the code appears to be tagged to broader fresh produce and school nutrition procurement opportunities that encompass multiple produce categories including potatoes, sweet potatoes, and specialty vegetables, but do not isolate organic centennial varieties as a line item or focus area. School districts and state agencies are acquiring fresh produce for child nutrition programs through RFPs and IFBs—Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Bulloch County Schools in Georgia, and Liberty County Schools in Georgia all issued produce solicitations between February and May 2026—but these requests specify produce assortments without distinguishing organic certification or heirloom/centennial varietal preferences in the available documentation.

Sourcing activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas school districts pursuing competitive bids for annual fresh produce contracts serving National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements. The Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Early County Schools (Georgia), Muscogee County Schools (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia) issued IFBs and ITBs between March and May 2026 with delivery windows of June or July 2026 through June 2027. Pricing in these solicitations follows USDA market indices and terminal market reports rather than premium organic commodity channels. No vendor in the recent opportunities is identified as an incumbent or repeat winner, and no procurement signals a set-aside or preference for organic or heirloom produce sourcing. The code's narrow commodity definition does not align with current state and local demand patterns, which favor mixed-produce volume suppliers meeting USDA Child Nutrition Program compliance over single-variety, certified-organic ingredient procurement.
