UNSPSC 50466309: Canned or jarred jersey sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50466309 Canned or jarred jersey sweet potatoes is a Commodity code that sees limited direct solicitation activity in state and local procurement. Recent opportunities in the dataset show minimal specification of this exact product line; instead, state and local governments procure canned and jarred vegetables—including sweet potatoes—as part of broader food service and consumables contracts. The actual buying takes place through school nutrition programs, state institutional food services (corrections facilities, health and human services centers, veterans homes), and state warehouse procurement for distribution to multiple facilities. When sweet potatoes appear in solicitations, they are typically one line item among hundreds of food products required to support cafeteria operations, food service programs, or inmate and resident dining.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (elementary, middle, and high schools), state correctional facilities, state health and human services centers supporting vulnerable populations, state veterans homes, and institutional food service operations. The mix includes large urban school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Douglas County Schools and Savannah-Chatham County Schools in Georgia, Burke County and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia), state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), and regional purchasing cooperatives. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and occurs in Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri, with school district procurement predominating. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016089 for tomato paste (due March 9, 2026), and multiple school district RFPs and IFBs spanning March through June 2026 (Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Burke County Public Schools, and Fairfax County Public Schools) seeking hundreds of food line items across multiple categories. None of the solicitations in the dataset explicitly named canned or jarred jersey sweet potatoes as a standalone line item, suggesting the product is purchased primarily through broader food service contracts rather than as a discrete commodity requisition.
