UNSPSC 50416707: Organic lesser yams

The variety of organic yams known as organic lesser yams

UNSPSC 50416707 Organic lesser yams is a Commodity code. State and local governments do not currently solicit organic lesser yams directly; the recent opportunities in this block are tagged to the code but do not reflect procurement of yams or even organic produce specifically. Instead, the tagged opportunities span fresh produce procurement broadly—apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, berries, eggs, and dozens of other items—along with staple groceries, dairy, and protein for school nutrition programs and state cafeteria operations. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests this code sees little targeted activity for its specific commodity.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with activity concentrated in Georgia (Glynn County, Liberty County, Bulloch County, Early County, Douglas County/GEC Buying Cooperative, and Savannah-Chatham County boards of education), Texas (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). State-level procurement appears in Georgia fresh-produce and grocery solicitations. Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's RFP for line-by-line food bids (due June 8, 2026), Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce (due May 7, 2026), Bulloch County School District's IFP for locally grown produce within 200 miles (due May 4, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts with estimated combined spending of $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026). Procurement vehicles include direct district RFPs and RFQs alongside cooperative purchasing through the GEC. No incumbent vendors are named. The absence of yam-specific solicitation activity within this block suggests the code should be monitored for future activity rather than pursued aggressively at present.
