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

UNSPSC 50496219 Organic redglow sweet potato purees (Commodity) does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent solicitation records show institutional food service procurement focused on shelf-stable and prepared food products for state-supported living centers, corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services—including canned tomatoes, frozen proteins, dairy, condiments, produce, and kitchen consumables—but no bids specifically for organic sweet potato purees. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and county senior services programs. The code shows material misalignment between its nominal commodity classification and the broad institutional food purchasing currently being solicited.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumable products serving state-supported living centers and state hospitals statewide, with historical annual spend of $1.5 million and a three-year potential maximum of $4.5 million (HHS0017449, HHS0017872, HHS0016792V2, all IFB format with response windows in June through August 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products for five geographic distribution areas under IFB 304T-26-300CF (response due May 4, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, previous award at $13.75 per case). Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026)—each sought hundreds of line items across fresh, frozen, and prepared food categories with Buy American Act compliance required and firm pricing locked for 30 days post-award. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026).
