UNSPSC 50466306: Canned or jarred goldensweet sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50466306 Canned or jarred goldensweet sweet potatoes is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable canned or jarred sweet potato products purchased by state and local food service operations. State and local governments procure this commodity as part of broader consumables and food product solicitations for institutional food service — state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior service centers. The commodity appears within larger, multi-line-item food solicitations rather than as standalone purchases. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (particularly Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and special-purpose food service authorities. The scope of work involves supplying institutional kitchens with shelf-stable, bulk-quantity canned vegetables meeting USDA grade standards, FDA compliance, minimum shelf-life requirements, and often low-sodium specifications aligned with federal meal pattern and nutrition guidelines.

Recent solicitation activity clusters in Texas and Georgia, with additional activity in Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable food products serving state supported living centers, including HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, IFB, due October 23, 2026) and HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, IFB, due July 13, 2026), both covering canned vegetables and prepared foods alongside fresh and frozen items. Georgia activity includes Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners informal written quote IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables (due October 19, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools food bid PE55037NONST2027000000007 covering nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories for five schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.). The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a separate large-volume canned tomato procurement (S2910000017145, IFB, due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST for approximately 7,616 cases). Institutional food service procurement remains active across state welfare and corrections agencies, school districts, and county-level social services, with commodity-level pricing evaluated on a per-case or per-unit basis and delivery typically required within seven days to thirty days of order receipt.
