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, represents a narrow produce line that state and local governments rarely source as a stand-alone contract item. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly requesting organic centennial sweet potatoes; instead, the four opportunities tagged with or adjacent to this code solicit broader food-service and produce categories. Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for food services at North Collier Regional Park seeking "diverse, high-quality food and beverage options" across concession facilities, with proposals due March 6, 2025. Marion Health Care Coalition (MHCC) issued a produce bid for the 2026-2027 period requesting "fresh fruits and vegetables" according to operational need, with proposals due August 21, 2026. Early County Board of Education, Georgia, posted a line-by-line food bid for approximately 300+ food items to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations. The State of Georgia issued a general food-supplies bid with a June 22, 2026 due date. The issuing bodies span county parks and recreation departments, health-care coalitions, school districts, and state procurement offices. Early County Board of Education and the State of Georgia represent repeat educational and state institutional buyers likely to source fresh produce items regularly.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, with Early County Board of Education and the State of Georgia accounting for two of four recent opportunities. Collier County, Florida and Marion County (location not specified in the source but likely Florida based on MHCC branding) represent secondary markets. The code shows limited recent activity targeting the specific commodity; most opportunities solicit organic centennial sweet potatoes only incidentally as part of broader fresh-produce or general food-service contracts. Early County's June 8, 2026 bid deadline for vegetables as one of 300+ food items, along with MHCC's August 21, 2026 produce bid, represent the most concrete recent sourcing activity where this commodity could be positioned. School districts and state institutional foodservice operations drive demand; local-vendor preferences and Buy American provisions apply in school-district procurement, and health-care coalitions emphasize fresh-produce delivery timelines and quality standards. Vendors should monitor Georgia school-district and state cooperative purchasing vehicles for line-item opportunities, as commodity-level sweet-potato sourcing appears episodic rather than a regular, standalone contract category.
