UNSPSC 50486309: Jersey sweet potato purees

The variety of sweet potatoes known as jersey sweet potatoes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486309 Jersey sweet potato purees (Commodity) appears rarely in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific agricultural product — Jersey sweet potato purees — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it do not reflect actual purchase of that item. Instead, the opportunities posted show state agencies, school districts, and county governments procuring broad consumable food baskets for institutional feeding — state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school cafeterias, and senior services programs. These procurements span prepared foods (french fries, chicken wings, burritos), frozen proteins, dairy, canned goods, fresh produce, condiments, and food service supplies. The issuing bodies are diverse: state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC for state supported living centers and hospitals), state correctional departments (Texas TDCJ, Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), county and municipal school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; unspecified Illinois school district), and state purchasing divisions on behalf of multiple customer agencies.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (October 23, 2026 closing) for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, a 22-line-item procurement for prepared foods and food service supplies with delivery in seven days; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (October 19, 2026 closing) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including proteins, grains, and vegetables for senior services; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB 304T-26-300CF for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (May 4, 2026 closing, extended from April 21) covering approximately 382 line items of institutional cafeteria foods across five geographic distribution points. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (June 19, 2026 closing). Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each issued school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026. The code shows no recent evidence of procurement focused specifically on Jersey sweet potato purees; the tagging appears mismatched to actual buying patterns.
