UNSPSC 50466302: Canned or jarred centennial sweet potatoes

The variety of sweet potatoes known as centennial sweet potatoes that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466302 Canned or jarred centennial sweet potatoes is a Commodity code covering preserved sweet potato products that state and local governments procure as part of institutional food service operations, particularly for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services centers. The code sees limited direct solicitation activity—recent opportunities more commonly tag broader food procurement categories that may include this item as one line among hundreds—but when sweet potatoes appear, they typically arrive as components of comprehensive food service bids rather than standalone purchases. State and local issuing bodies pursuing food procurement span school districts (K-12 and charter systems), state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies operating supported living centers and state hospitals, and integrated educational cooperatives serving multiple districts.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent solicitations. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections have issued multiple food procurements covering canned vegetable categories in early 2026. School districts in Georgia, including Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Burke County, and Douglas County, have solicited comprehensive grocery bids with canned vegetable line items through spring 2026. Representative opportunities include the Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering state supported living centers statewide with firm fixed pricing on Exhibit C; the Oregon Department of Corrections tomato canned procurement (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases meeting USDA Grade B or better with five percent Oregon-process and resident preferences; and the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery procurement (due April 29, 2026) spanning over 900 line items with NUTRIKIDS electronic bidding. All recent opportunities emphasize firm fixed pricing for initial terms, compliance with USDA standards and FDA labeling, and delivery within specified windows to multiple school and institutional locations, with price adjustments permitted only at renewal periods or subject to documented manufacturer increases.
