UNSPSC 50446306: Frozen goldensweet sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50446306 Frozen goldensweet sweet potatoes is a Commodity code that describes a narrow product line — specifically frozen sweet potato products in a goldensweet variety — but the recent-opportunities block does not contain solicitations for this specific item. The code's nominal scope is frozen sweet potatoes, yet state and local procurement offices tagging opportunities with this code are buying broad institutional food products including proteins, grains, dairy, canned goods, and paper supplies, with only incidental or no frozen potato line items appearing in recent bids. The mismatch between the code's specificity and what is actually being solicited under it suggests either broad tagging by procurement systems that use parent codes to capture diverse food buys, or a code designation error in the issuing bodies' submission to the opportunity database.

The few opportunities showing tangential relevance include a Texas TDCJ cafeteria food procurement (May 2026, IFB 304T-26-300CF) that lists frozen potato products (french fries, wedges, tater tots) as part of a 382-line-item institutional food portfolio, and an Oregon Department of Corrections frozen potato bid (July 2026, ITB S2910000017439) requesting 120,000 pounds of french fries, wedges, and tater tots with Oregon-vendor preference and a $0.3811 per-pound historical price reference. Beyond these two opportunities, recent solicitations under the code span frozen vegetables broadly (assorted blends, corn, broccoli, green beans from Oregon DOC and Texas HHSC), school nutrition programs across multiple states, and general institutional grocery procurement for correctional facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The activity is concentrated in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, school districts), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Georgia (school districts, county services), Pennsylvania (Montgomery County Correctional Facility), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), and Connecticut (school district). Bidders pursuing this code should recognize that it does not reliably flag opportunities specifically for goldensweet sweet potatoes but instead appears tagged onto institutional food contracts where frozen potato products are one of many line items, if present at all.
