UNSPSC 50416314: Organic okinawan sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50416314 Organic Okinawan sweet potatoes is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh produce procurement for food service operations at county parks, regional healthcare facilities, school districts, and state institutions. State and local governments soliciting under this code buy fresh produce items — fruits, vegetables, and specialty varieties — for operational food service, including school lunch programs, park concessions, hospital and healthcare network meal service, and state facility dining. The issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, county boards of education, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions. A local-vendor preference or emphasis on domestic sourcing characterizes several recent solicitations, reflecting state and local appetite for supporting regional agricultural suppliers.

Recent activity shows procurement spread across Florida, Georgia, and other states with active school lunch, parks, and healthcare food service operations. In Florida, Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park and concession facilities, with proposals due March 6, 2025; the scope requires diverse fresh produce alongside other food and beverage options, with a 10-point local-vendor preference for Collier or Lee County businesses. Marion Health Care Coalition (MHCC) solicited produce vendor proposals posted August 7, 2026 with an August 21, 2026 deadline, covering fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 contract period. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) specifying approximately 300+ food items including fresh vegetables and fruits, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations for school lunch and breakfast programs. The State of Georgia posted a broader food and kitchen products solicitation (May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026) that likely encompasses produce but provides minimal posted detail.
