UNSPSC 50466305: Canned or jarred georgia red sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50466305 Canned or jarred Georgia red sweet potatoes (Commodity) covers shelf-stable sweet potato products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service operations including state-supported living centers, corrections facilities, school cafeterias, and senior services programs. The work involves supplying canned or jarred sweet potatoes to meet recurring demand from food service departments operating on fixed or seasonal budget cycles, with products specified by case quantities, delivery schedules, and USDA grade compliance. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state agencies responsible for health and human services, corrections, and education; county school districts and county social services departments; and specialized state-supported facilities. Suppliers typically respond to IFB and IWQ notices with sealed bids or informal quotes, must meet specifications on shelf life, labeling, and condition, and handle delivery logistics on an F.O.B. Destination basis with freight prepaid or costs itemized separately.

Recent solicitation activity appears sparse for this specific commodity code. The most relevant recent opportunity that explicitly names canned or jarred sweet potatoes is absent from the recent-opportunities block; instead, the block contains broader food procurement solicitations that may include sweet potatoes as line items within larger consumables packages. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumable products serving state-supported living centers (HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026, and HHS0017872 due August 25, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, June 2026), and Gwinnett County in Georgia solicited shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables via IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026). Geographic activity clusters in Texas and Georgia, with supporting activity in Oregon. However, the source does not show a dedicated recent solicitation specifically targeting canned or jarred Georgia red sweet potatoes as a distinct line item or contract focus, suggesting this code may see limited stand-alone procurement activity or may be bundled within broader food-service aggregates.
