UNSPSC 50407070: Yuca

The type of vegetable known as yuca

UNSPSC 50407070 Yuca (Commodity) covers fresh root vegetables and tubers, specifically yuca, procured by state and local food-service operations including correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and senior-services programs. Recent solicitations show yuca purchased as part of broader institutional fresh-produce contracts rather than as a standalone line item; the code appears in procurement activity centered on bulk vegetable sourcing for meals and institutional dining. The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections and Mental Health), county school nutrition programs (Bartow County Schools, Bryan County Schools, Dougherty County Schools, Early County Schools in Georgia; Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin), and municipal senior-services divisions (City of San Antonio).

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), which bundled prepared foods and food-service supplies across 22 line items with estimated annual quantities of 1–24 cases per item and F.O.B. Destination pricing; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple fresh-fruit-and-vegetable solicitations (IW267376 for Palestine, IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse, IW267411 for Wynne Food Warehouse, all due in mid-October 2026) requiring bi-weekly or regular delivery to correctional facility food warehouses; the Illinois Department of Corrections' IFB 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 for fresh produce at Joliet Treatment Center (due September 3, 2026), specifying bi-weekly deliveries of onions, peppers, cucumbers, cabbage, lettuce, apples, oranges, tomatoes, potatoes, bananas, garlic, celery, green onions, and cilantro meeting USDA criteria and delivered fresh, firm, and damage-free with vendor liability for replacement of damaged items; and multiple Georgia school-district solicitations including Bryan County Schools' sealed bid for fresh produce (due May 27, 2026) and Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed bid for fresh produce across 40 line items (due June 16, 2026). Contracts typically run one year with optional renewal periods, include prevailing-wage or cost-index adjustment provisions, and require F.O.B. Destination delivery to school central warehouses or institutional dining facilities.
