UNSPSC 50496211: Organic maryland red sweet potato purees

The variety of organic sweet potatoes known as organic maryland red sweet potatoes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50496211 Organic Maryland Red Sweet Potato Purees is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialty sweet potato products, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show little purchasing activity aligned with the category name. The recent opportunity records include bids for general shelf-stable food products (canned tomatoes, potatoes of unspecified variety), fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared meals for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services — none of which specifically reference organic Maryland red sweet potato purees. When a recent opportunity is plainly unrelated to the code's nominal scope, the code shows little relevant recent activity. The issuing bodies soliciting under related food procurement codes span state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county governments, independent school districts, and state comptroller offices. These jurisdictions purchase through IFBs and informal written quotes for consumable food and supplies, with contract terms typically running one to two years and including renewal or extension options.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumable products serving state-supported living centers and state hospitals (HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026; HHS0017872 due August 25, 2026; HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026; HHS0016792V2 due March 19, 2026), with estimated contract values ranging from $1.5 million to $4.5 million over initial and renewal terms.
