UNSPSC 50436314: Dried organic okinawan sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50436314 Dried organic okinawan sweet potatoes is a Commodity code for institutional food procurement, yet the recent state and local solicitation activity under this code consists entirely of dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans—rather than sweet potatoes. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the State of Illinois have posted IFBs and RFQs for dried legumes in bulk institutional quantities, typically 40,000 to 880-bag increments specified for kitchen preparation and meal service. The code does not reflect recent activity aligned with the okinawan sweet potato category name. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include correctional departments, state purchasing offices acting on behalf of detention facilities, and state food-service procurement divisions; the work involves competitive bidding for commodity food products meeting USDA grade standards and institutional food-safety compliance.

Geographic concentration appears in the Pacific Northwest and South, with Oregon posting multiple dried-bean procurements and Georgia and Illinois also active. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026), specifying triple-cleaned product, U.S. No. 2 or better grade, palletized delivery to Salem within 45 days, and FOB destination pricing; the historical bid rate was $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) with all-inclusive delivery pricing. The State of Oregon also posted for dried black beans triple-cleaned (S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity (okinawan sweet potatoes) and the actual procurement activity (dried beans for institutional meal service) indicates either miscoding in recent state and local RFQ systems or a code taxonomy issue; prospecting under this code should treat recent opportunities as beans-focused rather than sweet-potato work.
