UNSPSC 50446300: Frozen sweet potatoes

The type of vegetable known as sweet potatoes that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446300 Frozen sweet potatoes, a Class code, does not reflect the commodities state and local governments are actually buying under this classification right now. Recent solicitations tagged to this code span frozen vegetables broadly—corn, mixed vegetables, carrots, assorted blends, and potato products—rather than sweet potatoes specifically. School districts, correctional facilities, and state agencies procure these frozen vegetables for food service operations across dining halls, cafeterias, and distributed meal programs, typically in bulk quantities (40,000 to 400,000 pounds per solicitation) at per-pound or per-case pricing. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), school districts (Fairfax County Virginia; Decatur Georgia; Early County Georgia; Burke County Georgia; Savannah-Chatham Georgia; Bulloch County Georgia; Rockwood Missouri; Ben Hill County Georgia; Douglas County Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS Commission), county jails and correctional facilities (Montgomery County Pennsylvania), and city school boards (Dallas ISD; Bridgeport Connecticut). The code shows material recent activity across multiple procurement tiers and jurisdictions, with no standout repeat buyer dominating the opportunity stream.

Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice lead the geographic and issuing-body concentration, with additional activity across Georgia school districts, Texas school systems, and Pennsylvania and Connecticut county and municipal buyers. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division requesting 120,000 pounds of frozen potato products (french fries, wedges, tater tots) under ITB S2910000017439 with bids due July 24, 2026 and a ten-percent Oregon vendor preference cap; the same agency requesting 40,000 pounds of frozen corn under ITB S2910000017451 also due July 24, 2026 with Oregon preferences applied; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases soliciting over 1,100 line items of grocery products (including frozen vegetables) for the Bridgeport Board of Education under RFP BNB052266 with electronic bids due June 30, 2026 and Buy American requirements mandating 51 percent domestic agricultural content; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services division requesting food and consumable products (including frozen items) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 with proposals due July 13, 2026 and a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million. Activity clusters heaviest in Oregon, Texas, and Georgia over the past six months, with scattered municipal and county opportunities in Pennsylvania and Connecticut.
