UNSPSC 50436315: Dried organic orange sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50436315 Dried organic orange sweet potatoes, a Commodity code, covers specialty dried fruit and vegetable products procured by state and local food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent state and local solicitations show that purchasing under this code focuses on bulk dried produce meeting USDA and food safety standards for institutional meal preparation, though the specific commodity "dried organic orange sweet potatoes" does not appear in recent posted opportunities. Instead, state and local buyers in the sample are actively procuring dried pinto and red beans, fresh produce, fresh eggs, and packaged grocery items for child nutrition services, school cafeterias, and department of corrections food operations—suggesting that while the code taxonomy includes specialty dried products, actual purchasing concentration runs toward mainstream dried legumes and fresh produce categories that command higher volume and clearer supplier competition.

The issuing bodies span state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, Georgia, Texas Comptroller's office), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), and local municipalities (City of Edinburg, Texas). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, Illinois, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) requesting approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, ITB due June 19, 2026, with a 10 percent evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or -headquartered vendors; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (procuring for TDCJ) issuing IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across 382 line items to multiple TDCJ warehouse locations, response extended to May 4, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools and distribution facilities, sealed bids due April 27, 2026; and Rockwood R-VI School District soliciting over 900 grocery line items for the 2026-27 school year, bids due April 29, 2026 via NUTRIKIDS electronic system. The code shows moderate recent activity concentrated in institutional food service procurement, with dried legumes and fresh produce commanding stronger demand signals than specialty dried organic products.
