UNSPSC 50426314: Dried okinawan sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50426314 Dried okinawan sweet potatoes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not align with the code's nominal scope. Instead, the records show solicitations for kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and broader cafeteria food products from Georgia Correctional Industries, the State of Oregon, the State of Illinois, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the City of Edinburg, Texas. These are institutional food-service procurements spanning dried legumes, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and kitchen supplies for correctional facilities, state agencies, school meal programs, and workforce meal services. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments and correctional agencies, with one city school-based child and adult care program. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated commodity; the postings appear to be misclassified or represent a data anomaly in the underlying procurement registry.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois, with the most recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered suppliers; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's invitation for bid on cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2); and Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026). The City of Edinburg's RFP for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supply (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) includes a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code does not represent a core procurement area under its stated name.
