UNSPSC 50416304: Organic garnet sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50416304 Organic garnet sweet potatoes, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within fresh produce procurement by state and local governments. The code encompasses sourcing of specialty fresh vegetables—specifically organic-certified garnet sweet potatoes—for use in food service operations across parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and other public venues. Recent state and local solicitations framed under this code show minimal direct activity focused on sweet potatoes as a standalone product; instead, the opportunities reflect broader fresh-produce and food-service contracting where sweet potatoes may appear as one line item among dozens of vegetables, fruits, proteins, and pantry staples. The buying bodies are primarily school districts and county parks departments, with some activity from healthcare coalitions and state procurement offices acting as central suppliers or coordinators for multi-site food service.

Geographic spread includes Georgia (State of Georgia procurement office), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners and Marion Health Care Coalition), and school districts in Early County, Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) requesting approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, and Collier County Parks and Recreation's Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park and Sun N Fun Water Park (due March 6, 2025), where concession vendors must source diverse fresh produce. A Marion Health Care Coalition produce procurement (RFQ, due August 21, 2026) and Georgia's statewide food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (IFB, due June 22, 2026) also appear to encompass fresh vegetables within broader scopes. The code shows limited targeted procurement volume; vendors pursuing this code should treat it as an embedded line item within school-lunch food-service contracts and park concession operations rather than as a standalone specialty-product category.
