UNSPSC 50446304: Frozen garnet sweet potatoes

The variety of sweet potatoes known as garnet sweet potatoes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446304 Frozen garnet sweet potatoes (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities posted under this code span frozen vegetables and grocery staples more broadly—including frozen corn, frozen potato products, and assorted frozen vegetables—but do not include garnet sweet potatoes specifically. The mismatch between the code title and the actual goods being solicited suggests that state and local buyers are tagging frozen-vegetable procurements with codes that capture the wider commodity family rather than the specific product line.

State agencies, county governments, school districts, and correctional facilities are the primary issuing bodies soliciting frozen vegetable and grocery products. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables since February 2026, including carrots, assorted blends, corn, and potato products, with responses due between early March and late July 2026 at pricing typically in the range of $0.30 to $0.67 per pound. School districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania are actively bidding annual food service contracts spanning hundreds of line items and multiple food categories, with deadlines concentrated in April through June 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and correctional facilities in multiple states have issued larger IFBs for supplemental foods and consumables, with contract values reaching into the millions. Most issuing bodies apply Buy American provisions, require HACCP plans and product liability insurance, and award on lowest responsive bid or best-value criteria. Geographic activity is heaviest in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Connecticut, with school-nutrition and institutional food-service buyers dominating the pipeline. Given that garnet sweet potatoes do not appear in any recent opportunity, pursuit of this code should focus on general frozen-vegetable and commodity-food relationships with state correctional systems, school districts, and health agencies rather than on the specific commodity named.
