UNSPSC 50436320: Dried organic yellow jersey sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50436320 Dried organic yellow jersey sweet potatoes is a Commodity code, but the most-recent state and local contract opportunities show no solicitations for the product itself. Instead, state agencies and local governments are procuring related dried-bean commodities — kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans — for institutional food service, corrections facilities, and child care meal programs. The code represents what state and local buyers treat as an interchangeable class of dried legumes and pulses for bulk institutional cooking and meal preparation, where specifications emphasize USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning to remove debris and contaminants, moisture content limits, and compliance with food-safety and manufacturing-practice requirements. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Georgia), state purchasing offices acting for multiple agencies (Georgia, Illinois), the Texas Comptroller's office on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and local governments administering child care programs (City of Edinburg, Texas).

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with recent solicitations from Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections procurement of 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, IFB, due June 19, 2026) with a historical price of $0.493 per pound and a 10% combined evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement of cafeteria food products spanning multiple food categories including beans (304T26300CF, IFB, response due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum); Georgia Correctional Industries' request for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, RFQ, due October 9, 2026); and the City of Edinburg's Child and Adult Care Food Program meal-supply procurement under a local-vendor preference (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026). The code shows consistent activity in corrections and institutional meal-service procurement rather than recent sourcing of the specific dried yellow sweet potato variety nominally named.
