The type of vegetable known as yampi

UNSPSC 50407066 Yampi, a Commodity code, represents fresh produce snacks and specialty fresh fruits and vegetables that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, child care facilities, and institutional food service operations. The code captures ready-to-eat or minimally processed produce items—pre-cut vegetables, specialty fruit varieties, berries, and locally sourced fresh produce—sourced and delivered for immediate consumption in cafeteria and classroom settings. Recent solicitations show school districts and child nutrition programs as the primary buyers, with issuing bodies spanning independent school districts, county school systems, and specialized agencies like Head Start and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, where school nutrition programs and state agencies conduct regular competitive procurements for fresh produce supply contracts.

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple commodity-specific bids for carrots, white potatoes, and sweet potatoes for institutional canning and food service, while Georgia school districts—including Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Glynn County, and the Douglas County cooperative covering 30 districts—conduct annual sealed-bid procurements for fresh produce with contract values ranging from approximately $1.1 million to $4.4 million. The City of San Antonio and Northside Independent School District in Texas are sourcing fresh produce through RFP processes with emphasis on delivery logistics and USDA compliance.
