UNSPSC 50416313: Organic o'henry sweet potatoes

The variety of organic sweet potatoes known as organic o'henry sweet potatoes

UNSPSC 50416313 Organic o'henry sweet potatoes is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce—including sweet potatoes alongside broad categories of fruits, vegetables, and fresh-cut items—primarily through school district child nutrition programs serving breakfast and lunch, with institutional food service extending to state agencies and county facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts dominating this category, sourcing produce for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance, often through cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple districts to achieve volume pricing. The work includes line-item competitive bidding on fresh produce categories, weekly or scheduled deliveries with temperature-controlled logistics, USDA compliance including Buy American provisions and HACCP certification, and vendor management around food safety, traceability, and product quality standards. Some districts emphasize local or regional sourcing (within 200 miles) and domestic preference when cost and quality are equivalent, while others evaluate on lowest responsive and responsible bid without geographic restriction.

School districts in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida account for the bulk of recent posting activity. The Georgia cluster is particularly dense—Early County Board of Education issued an RFP for produce and food items due June 8, 2026; Bulloch County School District sought locally-grown produce (watermelons, sweet potatoes, citrus, greens, and other items) with proposals due May 4, 2026; Liberty County Board of Education solicited produce and food products via IFB due April 29, 2026; Muscogee County School District requested produce items via ITB due April 27, 2026; Glynn County Board of Education issued IFB 27-02 for fresh produce due April 14, 2026; and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System solicited fresh produce under Bid 26-34 due April 23, 2026.

The State of Georgia also directly procured fresh produce via IFB #4 (response date May 27, 2026) and food, supplies, and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026).
