UNSPSC 50416316: Organic oriental sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50416316 Organic oriental sweet potatoes is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, particularly school districts and public-sector food-service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies buying fresh produce through line-item bids for school lunch programs, multi-vendor food service contracts for parks and recreation, healthcare facility meals, and centralized procurement vehicles. The issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education in Georgia), county parks and recreation divisions (Collier County, Florida), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). School districts dominate the recent activity, sourcing produce as part of broader National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program bids that bundle vegetables, fruits, and related food items with line-item pricing and domestic-sourcing preferences.

Geographic activity centers on Florida (Collier County parks concession and Marion Health Care Coalition produce), Georgia (Early County Schools and State of Georgia centralized food procurement), and likely extends across other states with active K–12 food-service procurement. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 covering 300+ food items including fresh vegetables and fruits for three schools under a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options; the district emphasized domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026 for the 2026–2027 contract period, requiring quality standards, delivery timelines, and volume compliance. Collier County's North Collier Regional Park concession bid (Invitation to Negotiate due March 6, 2025) included food and beverage services across multiple venues with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points.
