UNSPSC 50476309: Canned or jarred organic jersey sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50476309, Canned or jarred organic jersey sweet potatoes, is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable organic sweet potato products for institutional food service. Recent opportunities show that state and local governments are buying these items—along with a broader range of canned vegetables, proteins, and dry goods—to supply state-operated facilities including correctional institutions, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies (notably the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections), state education agencies, county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners). Opportunities typically require delivery within seven days of order receipt, F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight prepaid and included in quotes, and firm fixed unit pricing evaluated on a per-case or per-ounce basis. Vendors commonly must provide three references for similar contracts, certifications of non-debarment and E-Verify compliance, and proof of general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000 aggregate.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), soliciting 22 line items of prepared and shelf-stable foods with estimated annual quantities of 1 to 24 cases per item; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services (quotes due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026), representing eight full truck loads with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent; and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products to supply Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouse locations (response due May 4, 2026). Contract values range from annual guidance figures of $1.5 million (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center) to a maximum potential of $4.5 million over three years (supplemental food and consumables across multiple state facilities).
