UNSPSC 50476316: Canned or jarred organic oriental sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50476316 Canned or jarred organic oriental sweet potatoes is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable vegetable products state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations — primarily state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. The code sees occasional activity, but recent solicitations in the database show only tangential alignment with the nominal scope. State and local issuing bodies procuring under or near this code span state health and human services commissions, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state departments of corrections. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple food and consumable solicitations for state supported living centers, while Georgia and Oregon public agencies and school districts solicit broader food categories that include canned vegetables as line items within larger consumables contracts.

Recent opportunities show that canned and jarred vegetables appear as minor components within substantially larger institutional food service contracts rather than as standalone procurements. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicitation (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services; the Oregon Department of Corrections (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) issued a large dedicated bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at approximately $13.75 per case from the prior February 2026 award. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs covering consumables for state supported living centers (HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026, and HHS0016792v2 with a March 19, 2026 deadline for 210 line items spanning fresh through canned vegetables). Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with school district food service bids in Georgia (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools) routinely incorporating canned vegetables within broader nutrition program solicitations. Most opportunities require F.O.B. Destination delivery, three verifiable references, and firm fixed pricing over the initial contract term, with delivery windows of 30 to 72 hours and compliance with USDA grade standards, FDA labeling, and federal Buy American or state-preference provisions where applicable.
