UNSPSC 50476304: Canned or jarred organic garnet sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50476304 Canned or jarred organic garnet sweet potatoes (Commodity) describes shelf-stable canned vegetable products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and senior services. Recent solicitations under this code reveal that state and local buyers are acquiring canned and jarred vegetables as line items within larger consumables food bids rather than as standalone purchases; these vegetables appear alongside canned proteins, canned fruits, condiments, and fresh or frozen produce as components of comprehensive food-service supply contracts. The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies managing residential care facilities, county purchasing offices, school districts, and correctional departments, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing as a repeat buyer soliciting food and consumables for state-supported living centers and state hospitals. The geographic concentration of recent activity appears strongest in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026), which covered 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated food products including canned vegetables and other shelf-stable items with a prior-period monetary value of $1.5 million; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) with per-unit pricing firm for 30 days, FOB Destination delivery to Salem, and a prior-purchase benchmark of $13.75 per case from February 2026. School districts including Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools have issued comparable food bids covering hundreds of line items across multiple food categories with firm pricing for initial periods and subsequent adjustments permitted on quarterly or semi-annual bases tied to third-party market indices. Delivery timelines typically range from within 30 days to seven days of order receipt, with FOB Destination terms standard across all recent solicitations.
