UNSPSC 50436305: Dried organic georgia red sweet potatoes

The variety of organic sweet potatoes known as organic georgia red sweet potatoes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436305 Dried organic Georgia red sweet potatoes (Commodity) captures a niche agricultural product that state and local governments rarely procure directly under this specific code. Recent state and local opportunities show minimal activity aligned with this commodity designation; most food service solicitations under related codes target broader grocery categories—fresh produce, dried beans, proteins, dairy, and mixed staple items—rather than specialty dried sweet potatoes. The single relevant signal is the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 ITB for dried pinto beans (127,500 pounds), which demonstrates that corrections systems do procure shelf-stable dried vegetables and legumes for institutional meal programs, but no posted opportunity in the source names dried sweet potatoes as a line item or category.

State and local food procurement activity in the six-month window (January–July 2026) is concentrated in school districts and corrections departments across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon. School nutrition solicitations dominate the activity, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing RFPs and ITBs for master grocery contracts, fresh produce, and food distribution. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have posted CACFP meal program and cafeteria food product solicitations. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans. Pricing in school nutrition contracts typically emphasizes lowest responsive bid on a per-unit or per-serving basis, with firm fixed pricing for 12-month contract terms and renewal options. No posted opportunity names dried organic Georgia sweet potatoes as a specified line item, suggesting the commodity sits outside typical procurement cycles for this tier of buyer. Vendors targeting this code should monitor corrections food service and institutional meal program solicitations more closely than school district RFPs, where produce procurement centers on fresh items, frozen entrees, and bulk staples rather than specialty dried agricultural products.
