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 is a Class code covering shelf-stable vegetable products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service operations for institutional facilities. Recent state and local solicitations show this code activity embedded within larger consumables bids for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services departments. The work involves supplying canned or jarred sweet potatoes alongside dozens of other food items—proteins, fresh produce, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies—to institutional kitchens and canteens operating on annual or multi-year contract terms. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Waynesboro, Georgia), and state departments (Illinois, Georgia). Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple solicitations for state supported living center consumables in the same timeframe.

The code shows activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), which encompasses 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with annual quantities ranging 1–24 cases per item and F.O.B.
