UNSPSC 50446312: Frozen nemagold sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50446312 Frozen nemagold sweet potatoes is a Commodity code that names a single frozen vegetable product, but recent state and local procurement activity shows no solicitations specifically requesting frozen nemagold sweet potatoes. Instead, the recent opportunities block contains bids for frozen vegetables more broadly — frozen corn, frozen potatoes (french fries and wedges), frozen mixed vegetables, frozen carrots, frozen assorted vegetable blends, and comprehensive grocery procurement that may include frozen sweet potatoes as one line item among many. The code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited do not align. State and local governments are procuring frozen vegetable products and institutional food service supplies through correctional facilities, school districts, state health agencies, and county purchasing offices across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Virginia, but these solicitations are tagged under broader frozen vegetable or grocery codes rather than this specific commodity code.

The mismatch suggests that UNSPSC 50446312 sees little to no recent activity in state and local procurement, or that procurement offices are applying higher-level or more general codes to capture frozen vegetable buys that technically fall within this commodity's scope. Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple frozen vegetable ITBs in early 2026 (corn, carrots, mixed assorted blends) with responses due in late February through July; Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple food procurement ITBs and IFBs spanning fresh, frozen, and dry goods; and school districts across Georgia (Savannah-Chatham County, Bulloch County, Early County, Burke County, Douglas County, City Schools of Decatur) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) issued comprehensive food bids that encompassed frozen vegetables as line items within larger procurement envelopes. If pursuing opportunities under related codes, vendors should monitor frozen vegetable categories under higher-tier family and class codes and state-specific cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Oregon's Corvallis-area cooperative or Georgia's GEC Buying Cooperative, where volume and frequency favor established food service distributors and regional producers.
