UNSPSC 50426313: Dried o'henry sweet potatoes

The variety of sweet potatoes known as o'henry sweet potatoes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426313 Dried O'Henry sweet potatoes is a Commodity code that encompasses dried sweet potato products procured by state and local governments to support meal programs, institutional food service, and dietary supply chains. The recent solicitations indexed under this code, however, show minimal activity directly tied to dried sweet potatoes; instead, the opportunities reflect a much broader pattern of state and local procurement for general food supply, fresh produce, prepared entrees, and cafeteria staples spanning school districts, corrections departments, and child nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly K-12 school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state corrections or institutional food services (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal or regional child nutrition entities (City of Edinburg, Texas, via CACFP programming). School nutrition contracts dominate the recent activity, with districts seeking annually renewable term contracts for master grocery supply, fresh produce, and eggs to serve thousands of students daily.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in the Southeast and Southwest, with Georgia school districts filing multiple solicitations (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, State of Georgia procurement notices), Texas entities posting multiple notices (Edinburg CACFP, TDCJ), and Oregon Department of Corrections issuing two separate dried bean solicitations (pinto and red beans, March 2026 and June 2026, with response dates of March 20 and June 19 respectively). Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) for weekly delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items RFP (due April 29, 2026) spanning over 900 line items for the 2026-27 school year; Oregon Department of Corrections' Beans, Dried Pinto and Red ITB (due June 19, 2026) for 42,500 pounds of triple-cleaned beans; and Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (due February 18, 2026) with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million. The code shows little recent activity specifically targeting dried O'Henry sweet potatoes as a standalone commodity, suggesting this product line either falls outside typical state and local procurement cycles or is commonly bundled into broader food-supply contracts where it does not receive dedicated UNSPSC coding.
