UNSPSC 50466303: Canned or jarred diane sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50466303 Canned or jarred diane sweet potatoes is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy as part of broad food service procurement—primarily school districts and corrections agencies sourcing canned vegetables for cafeteria and institutional meal programs. The recent opportunities show that this code sits within the larger landscape of food and consumable purchasing by state agencies, county school systems, and state-supported facilities, where canned sweet potatoes appear alongside dozens of other canned vegetables, proteins, and prepared foods in comprehensive food supply contracts. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school nutrition programs across multiple districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home). The code sees activity across the South and Midwest, with significant recent procurement from Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia.

Representative recent opportunities underscore the scope: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 (response due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products supplying the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri issued paired solicitations in March 2026 (bids due April 29, 2026) for grocery items and Net Off Invoice products covering the 2026-2027 school year; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF (response due May 4, 2026, following addendum extension) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse distribution points, with firm fixed pricing and FOB Destination delivery required. School district food bids typically span 400 to 900 line items including fresh, frozen, and canned vegetables, with Buy American Act compliance, HACCP certification, and weekly or scheduled delivery to multiple school sites. Corrections and state hospital bids follow similar patterns, emphasizing USDA grade compliance, minimum shelf life (typically 12 months for canned goods), sodium content limits, and firm fixed pricing for one-year initial terms with renewal options. Most solicitations award on a lowest responsive, responsible bid or best-value basis with line-item flexibility, and several jurisdictions use cooperative purchasing vehicles to aggregate demand across multiple districts.
