UNSPSC 50436306: Dried organic goldensweet sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50436306 Dried organic goldensweet sweet potatoes, a Commodity code, shows limited relevance to actual state and local procurement activity based on recent opportunities. The code's nominal scope — dried organic sweet potatoes — does not align with the recent solicitations posted under this code designation. Instead, state and local buyers are actively procuring dried beans of various types (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans) and broad institutional food-service categories including proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and produce for correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and state institutional kitchens. The issuing bodies span state departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state procurement divisions acting on behalf of corrections and food-service agencies, city governments (City of Edinburg, Texas), and Boys & Girls Clubs operating meal programs. None of these recent opportunities target dried organic sweet potatoes specifically.

Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027) due October 9, 2026, for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification compliance requirements. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140) due June 19, 2026, with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or -headquartered suppliers and FOB destination delivery to Salem within 45 days. The State of Oregon issued a separate bid for triple-cleaned dried black beans (S2910000017705) due August 21, 2026, for institutional use. The Texas Comptroller, procuring on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic TDCJ warehouse locations, with responses due May 4, 2026 and a contract term through August 31, 2027, with optional one-year renewals. Given the code-to-opportunity mismatch, dried organic sweet-potato suppliers should monitor whether future Georgia Correctional Industries, ODOC, or similar institutional food-service RFQs are misclassified under this code or reclassified to better-matching dried-produce categories.
