UNSPSC 50416319: Organic redglow sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50416319 Organic redglow sweet potatoes is a Commodity code. State and local governments show little direct procurement activity targeting this specific produce variety. The source contains recent school nutrition and institutional food service solicitations from state departments, county school districts, and independent school districts across the Southeast and Texas, but none explicitly name organic redglow sweet potatoes as a line item. References to "sweet potatoes" appear in two opportunities—Bulloch County School District's Farm to School produce RFP (Georgia, May 4, 2026 due date) at $2.00 per pound based on 2025-2026 reference pricing, and the Douglas County School System's GEC Buying Cooperative fresh produce and eggs procurement (Georgia, March 4, 2026 due date) covering 72 produce line items across 30 school districts—but neither document specifies organic certification or confirms the redglow variety. The broader code family captures institutional produce procurement driven by USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and Buy American Act requirements, with vendors competing on per-unit or per-case pricing, HACCP certification, domestic sourcing preferences, and delivery reliability to school sites. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with representative districts including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas; RFP 2026-048, May 7, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida; RFP 26039RFPDST, March 11, 2026 proposal deadline), and Rockwood R-VI School District (St. Louis County, Missouri; April 29, 2026 bid deadline). The state of Georgia emerges as a concentration point for institutional produce procurement, with solicitations from Bulloch County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Glynn County school systems, plus state-level fresh produce and food supply RFPs from the State of Georgia itself.

Procurement under this code emphasizes bulk institutional supply across five-day or weekly delivery windows, firm pricing for 12-month periods with cost-adjustment language tied to USDA market indices, and extensive compliance documentation including debarment certification, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million depending on district), GAP or HACCP certification, and Buy American attestation. Organic certification does not appear as a stated requirement in any of the available school nutrition solicitations, and organic premium pricing or differentiation is not evident in the reference pricing data cited (e.g., Bulloch County's $2.00-per-pound sweet potato reference). The code shows steady institutional demand but no detectable market niche or preference for certified organic produce varieties at the state and local level during the review period. Vendors pursuing this code should focus on conventional produce supply chains serving school nutrition programs rather than seeking to compete on organic differentiation alone.
