UNSPSC 50407067: Yautia

The type of vegetable known as yautia

UNSPSC 50407067 Yautia is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh root and tuberous vegetables, though recent state and local procurement activity under the code shows broad sourcing of fresh produce, fruits, and prepared food items for institutional food service operations across correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and senior services. State and local governments buying under this code procure fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, frozen prepared foods, canteen groceries, and food service supplies—typically in bulk quantities for cafeterias, dining facilities, and institutional meal programs. The issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county school systems and school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Schools, Bryan County Schools, Early County Schools), municipal agencies (City of San Antonio), and regional or special-purpose food service organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Texas agencies—particularly HHSC and TDCJ—appear as repeat buyers in recent solicitations, issuing multiple IFBs for consumables, fresh produce, and specialty foods across multiple institutional locations and warehouse distribution points.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois, Florida, and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods and food service supplies at Lufkin State Supported Living Center; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple IFBs for fresh fruits and vegetables to prison food warehouses in Palestine, Snyder, and Huntsville (posted September 30–October 12, 2026, due October 14–19, 2026); the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (posted October 8, 2026, due March 6, 2025); Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (posted July 8, 2026, due July 29, 2026); and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables (posted May 21, 2026, due June 22, 2026). Most solicitations are posted on state procurement portals or county purchasing websites and employ IFB, RFP, or ITN notice types with response windows of one to three weeks; Texas TDCJ operations leverage the Bonfire electronic procurement platform. Seasonal school nutrition contracts running July through June and institutional food service contracts running September through August dominate the current pipeline.
