UNSPSC 50476320: Canned or jarred organic yellow jersey sweet potatoes

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

UNSPSC 50476320 Canned or jarred organic yellow jersey sweet potatoes is a Commodity code that captures fresh and shelf-stable produce items, particularly canned and jarred vegetables and proteins, procured by state and local government food-service and institutional-nutrition operations. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through their health and human services departments, departments of corrections, school districts, and county nutrition and social-services agencies. The work being solicited spans multi-line-item food procurement for institutional canteens, cafeterias, and food-service operations, where canned and jarred vegetables such as sweet potatoes appear as individual line items within broader consumables solicitations. Recent opportunities show issuing bodies requesting hundreds of line items—fresh proteins, frozen vegetables, canned fruits and vegetables, condiments, and food-service supplies—bundled as comprehensive food contracts rather than commodity-specific purchases. Bidders respond to these solicitations by providing unit pricing on specified items or approved equivalents, with delivery to centralized distribution points or individual facility locations and compliance required with USDA grades, shelf-life minimums, and nutritional standards including sodium and whole-grain specifications where mandated.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Texas (multiple procurement rounds by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia (school districts in Burke County and Ben Hill County, plus Gwinnett County), and Oregon (the Oregon Department of Corrections). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), which encompasses 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies with annual quantities of 1 to 24 cases per item and F.O.B. Destination delivery within seven days; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins and vegetables (response due October 19, 2026) with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center required within 72 hours; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (response due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-resident and Oregon-fabricated preferences applied; and the Ben Hill County Schools food-procurement IFB requiring hundreds of line items across fresh, frozen, and canned produce categories (response due June 15, 2026) across four school locations with Buy American Act compliance and HACCP plan requirements. Contract values range from institutional-scale single-facility procurements to statewide multi-facility awards; the Texas HHS El Paso facility procurement cited a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million, while the comprehensive Texas HHS supplemental food contract carried a maximum three-year potential value of $4,500,000 across multiple state hospitals and supported living centers.
