UNSPSC 50486316: Oriental sweet potato purees

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

UNSPSC 50486316 Oriental sweet potato purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect dedicated purchasing of sweet potato purees as a standalone product line. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code show state and local jurisdictions buying general consumable food products, prepared foods, and food service supplies for institutional facilities—state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services centers. The actual buying under the code encompasses broad food procurement that includes fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared items delivered to kitchens and cafeterias serving residents, students, and inmates. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois), state corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), state-level administrative food services (Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools). These are repeat institutional buyers with recurring annual or multi-year food supply contracts.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with activity concentrated in Texas state agencies. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with an F.O.B. Destination delivery model and a seven-day delivery requirement; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (due October 19, 2026), evaluating pricing per unit of measure with 72-hour delivery windows; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 cafeteria food product line items across five geographic warehouse locations in Texas (extended due date May 4, 2026), with firm fixed pricing and delivery to six distribution points. The code shows no recent solicitations specifically requesting oriental sweet potato purees as a named or primary line item; activity reflects general food procurement where sweet potato products, if present, would be one among dozens of commodity line items in a much larger basket buy.
