UNSPSC 50416708: Organic potato yams

The variety of organic yams known as organic potato yams

UNSPSC 50416708 Organic potato yams is a Commodity code that sees little relevant recent activity. The eight opportunities posted between February and May 2026 are tagged with this code but focus on broad fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and farm-to-school initiatives — covering mixed produce categories (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, eggs) and occasionally fresh produce generally, with no solicitations specifically requesting organic potato yams or root vegetables as a discrete line item. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests that state and local procurement offices are applying this code as a catch-all for produce family activity rather than targeting the commodity itself.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), with state procurement offices and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts) also active. Georgia dominates recent posting activity, followed by Texas and scattered single-district activity in Florida and Missouri. Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items across mixed categories under child nutrition programs; Northside Independent School District's fresh produce RFP (due May 7, 2026) with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance required; Bulloch County School District's local-produce RFP (due May 4, 2026) emphasizing 200-mile-radius sourcing; and the Douglas County School System's GEC cooperative produce-and-eggs RFP (due March 4, 2026) serving 30 districts with estimated annual spend of $4.4 to $1.1 million by geographic area. None of these solicitations isolate organic potato yams as a procurement target.
