UNSPSC 50476315: Canned or jarred organic orange sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50476315 Canned or jarred organic orange sweet potatoes is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable canned and jarred root vegetables procured primarily by state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs for institutional food service and canteen operations. State and local buyers under this code are acquiring processed sweet potato products as components of larger food service supply contracts rather than as standalone line items; the code appears most frequently embedded within broad consumables solicitations that span dozens of food products, kitchen supplies, and food service materials. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies operating residential care facilities, state correctional and department of criminal justice divisions, county school districts, and county social services departments. The procurement pattern reflects institutional bulk purchasing for recurring meal service and nutrition program operations, with contracts typically running annual or multi-year terms and requiring F.O.B. Destination delivery, product quality certifications, and compliance with USDA grade standards and food safety regulations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, including IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) and IFB HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), both encompassing canned vegetables and processed food products within 20–22 line-item packages. Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (due June 5, 2026)—have solicited comprehensive food procurements spanning hundreds of line items across multiple categories including canned fruits and vegetables. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a targeted IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated preference and USDA Grade B minimum standards. Gwinnett County, Georgia (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products for senior services. The code shows no standout repeat single-item solicitations for canned sweet potatoes specifically; canned and jarred vegetables appear as undifferentiated line items within much larger food service contracts where unit pricing and brand-or-equivalent flexibility dominate evaluation.
