UNSPSC 50436300: Dried organic sweet potatoes

The type of organic vegetable known as organic sweet potatoes that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436300 Dried organic sweet potatoes is a Class code that encompasses bulk dried legumes and vegetables sourced for institutional food service, based on recent state and local solicitations focusing on dried beans and supporting produce procurement. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily state corrections and education agencies—the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and multiple school districts—alongside child care and nutrition services programs operated by municipalities and regional school cooperatives. The scope of work involves supply of commodity-grade dried legumes (pinto beans, red beans) meeting USDA No. 2 or better standards, triple-cleaned, with minimum one-year shelf life, palletized for institutional delivery in bulk quantities ranging from tens of thousands to over one hundred thousand pounds per order. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state procurement divisions acting on behalf of criminal justice agencies, county and municipal school districts ranging from small to large systems, and municipal child care and nutrition programs.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in the Southwest and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate ITBs for dried pinto beans (March 2026 and June 2026), with the June solicitation requesting 42,500 pounds due June 26, 2026, and a prior award to Intersect USA at $0.493 per pound. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five Texas geographic areas, with response due May 4, 2026, after extension via addendum. The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted RFP 2026017 for CACFP meal program supplies including dried produce categories, due August 4, 2026, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The State of Illinois and State of Georgia each posted food supply solicitations in June and May 2026 respectively, though specific dried-produce line items were not detailed in available documents. Activity is heaviest in institutional corrections and K–12 school nutrition programs, with pricing typically firm fixed price FOB Destination and delivery schedules running weekly or as-needed throughout a contract year.
