UNSPSC 50476312: Canned or jarred organic nemagold sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50476312 Canned or jarred organic nemagold sweet potatoes (Commodity) represents a specialized subset of shelf-stable vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code is sparse. State and local agencies issuing food-service contracts—including state health and human services departments, county and school district nutrition programs, and state corrections and supported living facilities—source canned and jarred vegetables as part of broader consumables procurements covering dozens or hundreds of line items. The code's narrow specification (organic nemagold variety) sits within larger food-supply categories that encompass canned proteins, canned vegetables of mixed varieties, frozen produce, and fresh items bundled together in single IFBs or RFQs. Issuing bodies include state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county governments (Gwinnett County), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Georgia schools), and state-level procurement offices acting on behalf of departments of corrections and social services.

Recent opportunities show heavy concentration in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for state-supported living centers and hospitals—including HHS0018082 (Lufkin facility, due October 23, 2026), HHS0017872 (Lufkin facility, due August 25, 2026), and HHS0017449 (El Paso facility, due July 13, 2026)—all soliciting mixed food and consumables with canned vegetables as line items. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued IFB S2910000017460 for potato variety (July 27, 2026) and S2910000017145 for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026, previous award $13.75 per case). Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools (due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (due June 5, 2026)—solicited comprehensive grocery bids including canned vegetables. However, no recent solicitation explicitly names organic nemagold sweet potatoes as a line item; the code appears underutilized or absorbed into generic canned-vegetable categories in active procurements. Vendors pursuing this commodity should monitor broader institutional food-service RFQs and IFBs rather than expect standalone demand.
