UNSPSC 50416703: Organic chinese yams

The variety of organic yams known as organic chinese yams

UNSPSC 50416703 Organic chinese yams is a Commodity code, but the source provides no recent state or local procurement activity specifically requesting organic Chinese yams or closely related specialty produce items by that name. The solicitation dataset contains fifteen produce-related opportunities from state and local school districts and education agencies spanning February through May 2026, yet none identifies organic Chinese yams as a line item. The opportunities reference standard institutional fresh produce categories—apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, potatoes, eggs, and berries—alongside domestic sourcing preferences and USDA compliance mandates, but organic specialty root vegetables such as Chinese yams do not appear in any of the posted bid specifications, scope documents, or produce line-item lists.

School nutrition programs dominate the purchasing activity under broader produce codes, with issuers including state departments (Georgia Department of Education), county school systems (Bulloch County, Glynn County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia; Douglas County in Georgia; Hillsborough County in Florida; Early County in Georgia), independent school districts (Northside ISD and Austin ISD in Texas; McAllen ISD in Texas; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts across Georgia). All opportunities emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, domestic agricultural preference, cold-chain delivery compliance, and cost-plus or firm fixed-price structures tied to USDA market indices. The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Missouri, and national distribution requirements. No recent solicitations under this commodity code have been recorded; procurement professionals should verify whether organic Chinese yams are stocked by institutional food service providers or whether this code reflects an extremely narrow specialty item with no current state or local demand.
