UNSPSC 50466300: Canned or jarred sweet potatoes

The type of vegetable known as sweet potatoes that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466300 Canned or jarred sweet potatoes, a Class code, encompasses shelf-stable sweet potato products in canned or jarred form that state and local procurement offices acquire as components of broader food service and nutrition programs. The code sees modest recent activity concentrated in school district nutrition solicitations and state institutional food service contracts, where canned or jarred sweet potatoes typically appear as line items within larger RFPs and IFBs covering produce, vegetables, and meal components rather than as standalone procurement vehicles. School districts and state health and human services agencies represent the primary issuing bodies, with secondary demand from state corrections and veterans facilities.

Recent solicitations demonstrate that sweet potatoes appear within mixed-commodity food procurement. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) and HHS0016792 (extended to February 23, 2026) for food and consumable products serving state supported living centers and state hospitals statewide, encompassing 210 line items including canned vegetables; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple canned vegetable and tomato procurements (S2910000016089 for tomato paste, S2910000015837 for canned tomatoes) as reference comparables for shelf-stable produce handling. School districts across Georgia and other states—including Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (IFB due April 29, 2026), Muscogee County School District (ITB 26-017, due April 27, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools (IFB due June 5, 2026)—solicited comprehensive food packages specifying canned vegetables within broader nutrition procurement. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois, with school-year contract cycles (July 1 through June 30 alignment) dominating. The code shows no recent standalone solicitations and no activity supporting isolated sweet potato procurement; pursuit depends on capability to bid across mixed commodity lines within larger institutional food service awards.
