UNSPSC 50416305: Organic georgia red sweet potatoes

The variety of organic sweet potatoes known as organic georgia red sweet potatoes

UNSPSC 50416305 Organic georgia red sweet potatoes is a Commodity code that describes fresh produce — specifically organic red sweet potatoes grown in Georgia — but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code span a much broader range of institutional fresh-produce procurement for school nutrition programs, district food services, and state agency operations. State and local governments buying fresh produce under this code are sourcing apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus fruits, eggs, and prepared produce items in bulk for child nutrition reimbursable meal programs, farm-to-school initiatives, and supplemental feeding programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts of varying sizes—from Bulloch County (approximately 11,200 students) to Austin Independent School District (serving approximately 20,000 students across 31 campuses)—alongside county boards of education, state nutrition programs, and regional buying cooperatives such as the GEC Buying Cooperative, which aggregates purchasing across multiple Georgia school districts. A few solicitations also involve state-level procurement (State of Georgia fresh-produce IFB and the Georgia Department of Education nutrition operations), though school districts dominate the activity.

Geographic concentration is strong in Georgia and Texas, with multiple recent IFBs and RFPs from Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Bulloch County school districts in Georgia, alongside substantial procurement from Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, and Austin Independent School District in Travis County. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri also appear. Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (RFQ, due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items with emphasis on domestic sourcing and whole-grain specifications; Hillsborough County Public Schools' cost-plus fixed-fee contract for specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program to 18 elementary schools (RFP, due March 11, 2026, with estimated annual budget of $600,000 entirely federally funded); and the GEC Buying Cooperative's multi-district fresh-produce and egg procurement across 30 school districts in two Georgia areas (RFP, due March 4, 2026, with estimated spending of approximately $5.5 million combined). Award is typically made on a line-item basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with contract terms running July 1 through June 30 and renewal options for up to three or four additional years.
