UNSPSC 50436310: Dried organic jewel sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50436310 Dried organic jewel sweet potatoes, a Commodity code, covers fresh and processed produce items that state and local agencies source for food service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code is minimal and instead reflects broader dried-bean and fresh-produce procurement across correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and child care services. The issuing-body mix spans state departments of corrections, county and municipal school districts, and city child and adult care programs, with no single repeat buyer dominating recent activity. State and local buyers under related produce codes are sourcing proteins, grains, fresh vegetables and fruits, dairy, and specialty food items on term contracts typically running July through June aligned with school fiscal years, with delivery schedules fixed at multiple times per week and pricing structures ranging from firm fixed-price to cost-plus formulas tied to USDA market indices.

Recent activity concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia reflects scattered geographic demand rather than regional concentration. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 invitation to bid for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans due March 20, 2026 (ITB S-29100-00016233); the City of Edinburg, Texas's July 2026 request for proposals for CACFP meal program supplies including food products, beverages, and nonfood items due August 4, 2026 (RFP 2026-017); Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 Master Grocery K-12 sealed-bid procurement due April 27, 2026 (IFB 2000004323) spanning 45 schools and distribution kitchens across Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri's April 2026 grocery items solicitation for the 2026–27 school year due April 29, 2026; and the Muscogee County School District's March 2026 fresh-produce invitation to bid due April 27, 2026 (ITB 26-017). School districts typically require three years of business and food delivery experience, maintain firm fixed pricing for twelve-month terms, and emphasize USDA compliance and food safety certifications; correctional facilities apply state or regional purchasing preferences and specify strict grade standards and shelf-life requirements. The code itself shows little current activity directly aligned with dried organic sweet potatoes, suggesting either limited recent demand or tagging misalignment in available opportunities.
