UNSPSC 50486315: Orange sweet potato purees

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

UNSPSC 50486315 Orange sweet potato purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations naming orange sweet potato purees specifically. Instead, state and local governments have posted bids for broad food-service supply categories—consumables for state-supported living centers and correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services—in which sweet potato products may appear as one line item among dozens or hundreds of others. The issuing bodies purchasing under broader food-service codes that subsume this commodity span state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC), state correctional agencies (Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia), and state agencies (Illinois, Georgia). The geographic footprint includes Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with Texas showing the densest recent activity across multiple state-supported living centers and correctional procurement cycles.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the pattern: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 for consumables foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), and IFB HHS0017872 for fiscal year 2027 consumables and noncontract items at the same facility (due August 25, 2026), each naming prepared foods, sauces, and produce in dozens of line items without isolating sweet potato products. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools requested sealed bids on school nutrition food products spanning fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and condiments across multiple categories (PE61000NONST2027000000006, due June 15, 2026). These solicitations treat commodity-level food items as components of larger institutional food-service contracts rather than as standalone line items. No recent posting names orange sweet potato purees as a distinct procurement requirement, signaling minimal current standalone demand under this specific code.
