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 covering fresh produce items that state and local governments purchase for food service operations across parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and institutional dining. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local buyers procuring fresh fruits and vegetables — including but not limited to sweet potatoes — as part of broader food service contracts for schools, county parks, healthcare coalitions, and state institutional operations. The issuing bodies are diverse: county governments (Collier County), school districts (Early County Board of Education), state agencies (State of Georgia), and regional healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). Work under the code centers on produce provision and delivery meeting quality standards, food-safety compliance, delivery timelines, and volume requirements specified in individual contracts, with pricing often adjusted for seasonal availability and tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index benchmarks.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast, with solicitations posted from Florida, Georgia, and regional healthcare networks in mid-2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025), which includes produce and fresh-food provision across multiple venues; the scope emphasizes menu variety, food-safety compliance, and quality standards across regular operations and peak tournament seasons, with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points for vendors with permanent business addresses and employees in Collier or Lee County.
