UNSPSC 50416704: Organic globe yams

The variety of organic yams known as organic globe yams

UNSPSC 50416704 Organic globe yams is a Commodity code covering fresh produce items purchased by state and local public bodies for food service operations. State and local governments buy under this code primarily as part of broader produce procurement — fresh fruits and vegetables delivered to schools, healthcare facilities, parks concessions, and institutional food-service operations. The recent solicitations show that produce purchasing is embedded in larger food-service contracts rather than solicited as a standalone commodity; issuing bodies bundle fresh produce with meats, dairy, grains, and supplies into comprehensive food-service bids. Purchasers emphasize food-safety compliance, product freshness guarantees, seasonal pricing flexibility, and adherence to domestic-sourcing and whole-grain preferences where applicable. Counties, school districts, and healthcare coalitions dominate the issuing-body mix.

Recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdiction types. Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida solicited food-service proposals via Invitation to Negotiate for park concessions (response due March 6, 2025), Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce-vendors RFQ (response due August 21, 2026), the State of Georgia released a food and kitchen-supplies bid (response due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education in Georgia posted a line-by-line food bid covering 300+ items including vegetables and fruits (response due June 8, 2026). The Georgia opportunities and Florida county procurement indicate activity across the Southeast. School districts and healthcare entities appear to be the primary repeat buyers under this code's scope, with deliveries requiring temperature control, food-safety certification, and compliance with USDA nutritional standards where applicable.
