UNSPSC 50456320: Frozen organic yellow jersey sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50456320 Frozen organic yellow jersey sweet potatoes (Commodity) names a specific produce input, but state and local solicitations tagged with this code are actually purchasing broad food-service commodity baskets — shelf-stable pantry staples, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared items — for school districts, county social services, and state purchasing. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of food items for the Department of Community Services requested peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and shelf-stable vegetables; the Early County Board of Education's June 2026 bid for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program support named meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments across 300+ line items with emphases on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and state purchasing offices, with school districts driving the majority of activity given federal food-service program requirements and the need for competitive bidding across multiple commodity categories in a single procurement cycle.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with Gwinnett County (IWQ 140229, informal written quote due October 19, 2026), the State of Georgia (PE55645NONST2026000000009, bid due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education (FY27 Food Bid, bid due June 8, 2026) all posting within the past five months. School district procurements typically run annual cycles with July-through-June contract terms and include firm pricing for 15 days post-award, with price escalation requests considered on a six-month basis using USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions, maintain HACCP plans, carry $500,000 general liability insurance, and allow piggybacking by other school districts on identical bid terms. County and state food purchases tend toward shorter procurement windows and emergency or seasonal demand signals rather than annual formal bids.
