UNSPSC 50486310: Jewel sweet potato purees

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

UNSPSC 50486310 Jewel sweet potato purees (Commodity) covers shelf-stable and prepared potato products used in state and local institutional food service operations, though recent opportunities show minimal procurement activity directly matching this specific code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily state health and human services agencies, county and municipal food service operations, and school districts acquiring consumable food and related supplies for institutional canteens, kitchens, and meal programs. The work encompasses acquisition of prepared and raw food items—including potatoes, frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and food service consumables such as containers, napkins, and service supplies—with delivery to state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services centers, and other public institutional campuses. Issuing bodies include state departments of health and human services, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, county school districts, and independent school districts. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections appear as repeat buyers across multiple fiscal years.

Recent solicitation activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with the heaviest concentration in Texas. Representative opportunities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables (prepared foods and food service supplies) at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026, with Oregon bidder and fabricated-goods preferences; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for Senior Services, due October 19, 2026; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive food and kitchen products across four schools with Buy American Act compliance, due June 15, 2026. Contracts typically run one to three years with optional renewal periods. The code shows activity but no recent solicitations explicitly named or heavily emphasize jewel sweet potato purees as a primary line item; most opportunities list purees as a potential minor component within broader consumable food procurements rather than as a standalone category.
