UNSPSC 50436319: Dried organic redglow sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50436319 Dried organic redglow sweet potatoes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with dried organic redglow sweet potatoes. Instead, the opportunities solicited include kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and broad cafeteria and institutional food-supply contracts that encompass dried legumes, proteins, dairy, grains, and kitchen supplies as mixed-category line items. State and local governments appear to be using this code as a proxy for institutional dried-goods procurement more broadly, particularly in correctional, educational, and child-care food-service contexts. The issuing bodies include state departments (Georgia Department of Corrections via Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Oregon, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division) and municipal bodies (City of Edinburg, Texas). Correctional facilities emerge as the most frequent buyer across recent solicitations, driven by high-volume, recurring meal-service requirements and centralized procurement structures.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, IFB, due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST) with a 10% evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon and bidders headquartered in Oregon; beans must be triple-cleaned, meet U.S. No. 2 or better grade, and deliver FOB destination to Salem within 45 days at $0.493 per pound historical pricing. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in increments of 880 bags (92100ERFQ0020612027, RFQ, due October 9, 2026) with all-inclusive delivered pricing and strict specification-sheet completion requirements. The City of Edinburg, Texas, procured food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving approximately 400 children ages 1–18 daily (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 for bids within 5% of lowest price; the scope spanned beverages, paper goods, proteins, breads, fruits, vegetables, snacks, janitorial supplies, and storage products with daily Monday–Friday deliveries before noon. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Invitation for Bid 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) spanning approximately 382 line items including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and staples, with contract term through August 31, 2027, plus two optional one-year renewals.
