UNSPSC 50406809: White guinea yams

The variety of yams known as white guinea yams

UNSPSC 50406809 White guinea yams (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The single Georgia fresh produce RFP posted in June 2026 does not identify the specific issuing body, limiting visibility into the solicitation's scale and requirements. State and local governments procuring under produce-related codes are sourcing fresh fruits and vegetables—including carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and mixed produce—primarily through school districts, state criminal justice agencies, and county education systems, but white guinea yams do not appear as a line item in any of the recent solicitations captured in the dataset.

School nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri dominate recent produce procurement activity, with sealed-bid and RFP awards for comprehensive fresh produce portfolios serving 8,200 to 20,000+ students. Representative opportunities include the Hillsborough County Public Schools Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (RFP 26039RFPDST, proposals due March 11, 2026, serving 18 elementary schools with federally funded specialty fruit and vegetable distribution), the McAllen Independent School District Child Nutrition Program (RFP 2026-1029, proposals due March 6, 2026, covering 31 campuses), and the Northside Independent School District fresh produce RFP (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026, serving all district campuses five days per week). State entities including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Georgia Department of Education issue separate competitive bids for bulk produce items—carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes—for institutional food service. The code shows activity concentrated in the Southeast and Texas, with school districts emphasizing domestic sourcing, HACCP certification, weekly or twice-weekly delivery, and cost-plus or fixed-unit-price models. Pursuit under this code should focus on institutional food service contracts where white guinea yams are explicitly listed in detailed produce specifications, which the recent dataset does not support.
