UNSPSC 50426320: Dried yellow jersey sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50426320 Dried yellow jersey sweet potatoes (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for dried yellow jersey sweet potatoes; instead, the records reflect bids for kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and broad institutional food procurement covering multiple protein and produce categories across Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the State of Illinois, and the City of Edinburg, Texas. The disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities posted suggests either that the code is being used inconsistently by issuing bodies or that procurement of this specific commodity is not currently active in the state and local market.

The issuing bodies soliciting under related dried-bean and institutional food categories include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices, and municipal governments. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans (due October 9, 2026); Oregon ODOC posted an IFB for dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026 with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation applied); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products across multiple categories via the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division (due May 4, 2026 after extension); and the City of Edinburg, Texas issued an RFP for CACFP meal-program supplies with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 (due August 4, 2026). Activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, with institutional food service (correctional facilities and child care programs) as the primary use case. Given the absence of solicitations for the specific commodity, pursue related dried-legume and institutional food-supply codes; watch for future activity once the code's usage pattern clarifies.
