UNSPSC 50466319: Canned or jarred redglow sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50466319 Canned or jarred redglow sweet potatoes, a Commodity code, does not show significant relevant recent activity. The single opportunity explicitly soliciting this code—the State of Illinois Veterans Home quarterly food order (RFQ 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026)—treats it as one item within a broad brand-specific-or-equal weekly food procurement framework rather than a dedicated sourcing effort for sweet potatoes. The broader market for canned and jarred vegetables in state and local procurement centers on multi-line food service RFPs and IFBs issued by school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies across the country, where canned vegetables appear as line items within larger nutritionally diverse grocery or food-service contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys. School nutrition programs dominate this activity—recent solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), and Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) each contain numerous canned-vegetable line items, including tomatoes, but no district has issued a dedicated sweet-potato solicitation. Corrections departments in Oregon and Texas, plus health and human services facilities in Texas, round out the issuing-body mix, again embedding canned vegetables in comprehensive food-service buys.

The geographic spread is national, with the most recent concentrated activity in Georgia school districts, Texas corrections and HHS facilities, Missouri school nutrition programs, and Oregon corrections. Canned tomatoes and supplemental mixed vegetables appear far more frequently than redglow sweet potatoes across all recent opportunities. The Illinois RFQ names "redglow sweet potatoes" in its 24-line item list but provides no quantities, lead times, or pricing detail—it is a quarterly order for a single facility with estimated annual value unspecified. The code shows no standalone bids, no volume commitments, and no dedicated RFPs; it is a dormant commodity within broader food-service procurement ecosystems. Pursuing this code requires bundling into large-scale school or institutional food contracts or waiting for specialized health-care or dietary-program solicitations that emphasize specific canned-vegetable nutritional profiles.
