UNSPSC 50426307: Dried hanna sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50426307 Dried hanna sweet potatoes is a Commodity code that covers dried sweet potato products for institutional food service and nutrition programs, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity directly targeting this specific item. The code appears misaligned with actual procurement activity in the source materials—dried hanna sweet potatoes do not feature as a line item or specification in the recent opportunities posted. Instead, state and local buyers soliciting under this code's broader family are purchasing comprehensive food supply categories for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and child care services, including proteins, fresh and processed produce, grains, dairy, beverages, janitorial supplies, and ancillary food service items. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices (Georgia, Illinois), county school systems (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI), cities and municipalities (City of Edinburg, Texas), and child care networks (Boys & Girls Club). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple districts posting overlapping produce and grocery contracts for the same fiscal year.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the City of Edinburg, Texas Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) RFP 2026-017 (due August 4, 2026) seeking five supply categories across beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items for 400 children daily; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for weekly food delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items IFB (due April 29, 2026) for over 900 line items across snacks, produce, grains, dairy, meats, and prepared entrees; and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00016233 for dried pinto and red beans (127,500 pounds, due March 20, 2026, with a historical reference price of $0.43 per pound). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF (extended to May 4, 2026) encompasses approximately 382 line items including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and produce across five geographic warehouse distribution areas. Most school district opportunities are ITB or IFB notices with firm fixed pricing, pre-bid conferences where available, and annual contract periods running July 1 to June 30 with optional renewals.
