UNSPSC 50466320: Canned or jarred yellow jersey sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50466320 Canned or jarred yellow jersey sweet potatoes (Commodity) covers shelf-stable sweet potato products that state and local governments procure primarily through institutional food service contracts for state-run facilities, school districts, and correctional systems. The code sees regular but modest activity, with recent solicitations emphasizing canned and jarred sweet potato items as line items within broader food service or consumables buys rather than standalone purchases. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHS Commission), state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state education agencies, county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and county social service departments (Gwinnett County). Texas HHS Commission and Texas TDCJ appear as repeat buyers issuing multiple food and consumables solicitations that include canned vegetables and proteins alongside other shelf-stable products.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply El Paso State Supported Living Center and related DSHS facilities statewide, covering 210 line items across fresh, frozen, and canned food products with a three-year maximum potential value of $4.5 million. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (IFB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) with an Oregon-fabricated or resident-bidder 5 percent preference; the prior purchase in February 2026 was $13.75 per case, suggesting per-unit pricing benchmarks for canned vegetable procurements in the region. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issued IFB #26271 for school nutrition program food products (due June 15, 2026) covering hundreds of line items across produce, meat, dairy, and canned vegetables with Buy American Act compliance required. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission also posted IFB HHS0018082 in October 2026 (due October 23, 2026) for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with 22 line items and seven-day delivery required; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services.
