UNSPSC 50436309: Dried organic jersey sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50436309 Dried organic jersey sweet potatoes, a Commodity code, does not map to active state and local procurement in the recent opportunity sample; no school districts, state agencies, counties, or municipalities have solicited this specific product category in the tracked recent activity. The code nominally covers a narrow agricultural commodity—organic dried sweet potatoes of the Jersey variety—but state and local food service procurement at scale (school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, child care food programs) typically buys dried beans, fresh produce, and bulk grocery staples through consolidated competitive solicitations rather than specialized dried-produce line items. When dried legumes or preserved vegetables appear in recent solicitations, they are requested alongside broader food-supply categories or as part of bulk procurement vehicles serving multiple sites or jurisdictions.

The recent opportunities in the dataset confirm this pattern: the Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited large volumes of dried pinto and red beans; school districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Virginia are procuring fresh produce, eggs, and master grocery contracts spanning hundreds of line items; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued broad cafeteria food-products bids covering proteins, grains, dairy, and canned goods; and the City of Edinburg, Texas, and other jurisdictions have requested food and nonfood supplies for child and adult care programs. None of these solicitations identify dried organic sweet potatoes or similar specialty dried-produce items as a procurement need. The absence of tagged opportunities under this code suggests limited current demand from state and local food service operations, which tend to prioritize high-volume staples (dried beans, fresh produce, proteins, dairy) with established vendor bases and predictable usage patterns. A vendor pursuing this commodity would need to monitor individual school district, state agency, and corrections department food-service RFPs directly rather than rely on volume signals from this UNSPSC category.
