UNSPSC 50466313: Canned or jarred o'henry sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50466313 Canned or jarred O'Henry sweet potatoes (Commodity) represents a narrow food product line that state and local governments purchase as one item within broader food service procurement. Recent state and local solicitations show this code tagged to wide-ranging food-supply contracts for institutional feeding — school nutrition programs, state correctional facilities, state health and human services institutions, and veterans homes — where sweet potatoes appear as a single line item among hundreds of grocery products. The code sees activity from state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), and special-purpose agencies (Douglas County School System through the GEC Buying Cooperative). Issued bodies typically solicit food products via RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB with firm fixed-price quotes required as all-inclusive of packing, freight, and delivery.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior year and estimated potential value of $4.5 million across a three-year period including renewals); Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for food products across multiple categories for four school locations (due June 15, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering delivery to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens across Fairfax County, Virginia (due April 27, 2026). These procurements emphasize compliance with Buy American Act requirements, USDA grade standards, HACCP food safety protocols, and price-adjustment formulas tied to federal indices or market data. Most contracts run twelve months with renewal or extension options spanning two to four additional years. The code shows consistent but unspectacular activity — it appears as a tagged item within large, bundled food buys rather than as a standalone procurement driver — and success typically requires established relationships with institutional food distributors and demonstrated ability to meet strict delivery, food-safety, and specification compliance standards on a multi-location basis.
