UNSPSC 50416315: Organic orange sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50416315 Organic orange sweet potatoes is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within fresh produce procurement. State and local governments rarely solicit specifically for organic orange sweet potatoes as a standalone line item; instead, they procure fresh produce through broader school nutrition and food service contracts in which sweet potatoes appear as one of dozens or hundreds of line items. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly naming organic orange sweet potatoes, which signals that this code sits at too granular a level to reflect meaningful procurement activity in state and local markets. The sourcing bodies that do acquire fresh produce—primarily school districts and state nutrition services—typically bid produce categories or individual commodities (apples, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes) as separate lines within multi-category RFPs, RFQs, or IFBs, rather than issuing solicitations for a single organic variety.

The geographic concentration of activity is confined to school districts in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) issuing RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce for child nutrition with a response date of May 7, 2026; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) issuing RFP 26039RFPDST for the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with a response date of March 11, 2026; Bulloch County School District (Georgia) issuing an IFP for locally grown produce with a response date of May 4, 2026; and Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts, with a response date of March 4, 2026. In each of these solicitations, sweet potatoes may appear as one line item among 60–72 produce options, often without specification of organic certification or sourcing origin. Given the granularity of the code and the absence of dedicated organic sweet potato opportunities in the recent record, firms targeting this code should expect minimal direct solicitation activity and should instead pursue broader produce distribution contracts where this commodity competes as one option within larger institutional food service procurements.
