UNSPSC 50416705: Organic greater yams

The variety of organic yams known as organic greater yams

UNSPSC 50416705 Organic greater yams is a Commodity code covering fresh produce sourcing for state and local operations. State and local governments buy vegetables — and produce more broadly — through food-service procurement for parks and recreation concessions, school lunch and breakfast programs, and healthcare facility operations. Recent solicitations show mixed commodity specificity: some opportunities name specific produce categories (vegetables, fruits, dairy in the Early County Schools bid), while others use broader produce-vendor scopes without itemizing individual commodities. The issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, school boards, state departments, and healthcare coalitions. Early County Board of Education and Collier County have posted food-service opportunities in the recent window; Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce vendors with a narrower scope tied to healthcare operations.

Activity spans multiple states with visible recent solicitations in Georgia and Florida. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on May 11, 2026 for food and non-food items across three schools, with bids due June 8, 2026, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; the contract term runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITN on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a response date of March 6, 2025, requiring vendors to meet local-vendor preference criteria worth 10 evaluation points for Collier or Lee County permanent business addresses. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce-vendor RFP on August 7, 2026 due August 21, 2026, focused on fresh fruits and vegetables delivery for healthcare operations. The State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies bid on May 15, 2026 due June 22, 2026 with scope and pricing details in the attached solicitation document.
