UNSPSC 50416307: Organic hanna sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50416307 Organic hanna sweet potatoes is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code procure fresh produce — primarily sweet potatoes and related fresh fruits and vegetables — for school nutrition programs, institutional foodservice, and state agency operations. The code sees active procurement activity centered on K–12 school districts and school nutrition cooperatives across the Southeast and South, where sweet potatoes and other fresh produce items are typically bundled into broader fresh-produce or grocery-item RFPs and IFBs rather than solicited as standalone line items. Issuing bodies span independent school districts (ranging from small rural districts to large metropolitan systems), county school boards, school nutrition cooperatives, and state departments; school districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida districts actively soliciting produce contracts in the first half of 2026. Vendors supplying under this code must meet institutional requirements including HACCP certification, general liability insurance ($1–2 million coverage typical), Buy American compliance, federal work authorization verification, debarment certification, food safety documentation, and delivery reliability on tight weekly or twice-weekly schedules to multiple school sites.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the market. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on May 11, 2026 (response due June 8, 2026) seeking line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items including fresh produce, with contract July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options to extend. The Bulloch County School District (Georgia) posted an Invitation for Proposal on April 3, 2026 (due May 4, 2026) for fresh, locally grown produce including sweet potatoes, watermelons, strawberries, and other items sourced within 200 miles of Bulloch County for a Farm to School program. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative on February 4, 2026 (due March 4, 2026) covering 30 school districts across two Georgia regions, with estimated spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, encompassing approximately 72 produce line items. Northside Independent School District (Texas) solicited fresh produce for child nutrition via RFP 2026-048 (due May 7, 2026) for all campuses across the San Antonio area, emphasizing USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and Texas-grown sourcing. The code shows sustained activity across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida school systems through spring 2026, with school-year contract periods typically running July 1 through June 30, firm pricing for 12 months with selective midyear adjustments tied to USDA market indices, and evaluation heavily weighted toward price, product quality, and delivery reliability.
