UNSPSC 50476318: Canned or jarred organic red mar sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50476318 Canned or jarred organic red marc sweet potatoes is a Commodity code that represents a niche product line within broader food procurement activity at state agencies, school districts, and other state and local bodies. State and local governments acquire canned or jarred sweet potatoes as part of comprehensive food-service supply contracts that also encompass proteins, produce, dairy, prepared foods, and consumable kitchen supplies for institutional feeding operations such as state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services centers. The recent opportunities block shows no dedicated solicitations for canned or jarred organic red marc sweet potatoes specifically; instead, the code appears as a line item within larger multi-category food procurements that include dozens or hundreds of food products at once. Issuing bodies soliciting under the broader food-supply codes that would encompass this Commodity include state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS Commission, Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon DOC), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Ben Hill County, Georgia), school districts (Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia), and special-purpose state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies (Texas Comptroller statewide procurement for TDCJ). The mix reflects institutional food service rather than retail or commercial distribution channels.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables for state supported living centers and state hospitals between May and October 2026, with response dates ranging from July through October 2026 and contract values in the $1.5 million to $4.5 million range. Georgia school districts and Gwinnett County posted food procurement RFQs and IFBs in May and June 2026 for school nutrition and senior services feeding. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for canned tomatoes (a structurally similar commodity) in June 2026. Representative examples include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), which encompasses 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with F.O.B. Destination delivery required within seven days; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products for senior services (due October 19, 2026); and Burke County Public Schools' comprehensive grocery bid covering nearly 400 food line items across five schools (bids due June 5, 2026). The code itself shows no standalone recent activity and appears to be solicited only as a subordinate line item within multi-category food procurements rather than as a dedicated product focus.
