UNSPSC 50456309: Frozen organic jersey sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50456309 Frozen organic jersey sweet potatoes (Commodity) names a narrow product line, but state and local governments soliciting under this code are actually purchasing broad food-service categories — shelf-stable products, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared items for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food operations. The issuing bodies are counties (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education), with procurement occurring through informal written quotes (IWQ), line-by-line competitive bids, and formal RFQs. The scope reflects institutional food procurement for the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, senior services centers, and general departmental food supply — not frozen sweet potatoes as a standalone commodity.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with three opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Gwinnett County issued an informal written quote request (IWQ 140229) on October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups, canned vegetables) for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026, with scope details in an attached document. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026, covering 300+ food items (meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains) and 60 non-food items for the school nutrition programs, July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain specifications, and Buy American compliance required. The code shows limited recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; opportunities tagged to this commodity are purchasing institutional food service broadly rather than frozen sweet potatoes specifically.
