UNSPSC 50426303: Dried diane sweet potatoes

The variety of sweet potatoes known as diane sweet potatoes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426303 Dried diane sweet potatoes is a Commodity code that in practice covers dried legumes and institutional food staples procured by state correctional systems, state education agencies, and municipal child-nutrition programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show activity centered on dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans—sourced in bulk for institutional meal preparation, warehouse distribution, and correctional-facility food service. The code's nominal scope (sweet potatoes) does not align with the actual procurement activity captured in recent opportunities, which centers on dried beans for high-volume institutional use. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state purchasing offices coordinating procurement for multiple agencies, municipal child-nutrition programs, and state education institutions. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the State of Illinois all appear as active buyers under this code in the past four months.

Geographic activity clusters in the Pacific Northwest and South. The Oregon Department of Corrections bid on approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a June 19, 2026 response date, offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027) due October 9, 2026, with delivery in 880-bag increments on an all-inclusive pricing basis. The State of Oregon procurement division also posted a separate bid for dried black beans, triple-cleaned, due August 21, 2026, for institutional use across state agencies and educational institutions. The City of Edinburg, Texas, is procuring food items including beans under its Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal service (RFP 2026-017) due August 4, 2026, with a local-vendor preference applying to bidders within the city limits falling within 5% of lowest price. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products including multiple dried-bean and legume line items to supply five geographic warehouse areas, with response due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum from April 21). Initial contract term runs through August 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals.
