UNSPSC 50416710: Organic yellow guinea yams

The variety of organic yams known as organic yellow guinea yams

UNSPSC 50416710 Organic yellow guinea yams, a Commodity code, nominally identifies a single produce item, but state and local governments soliciting under this code are actually purchasing fresh produce assortments — fruits, vegetables, and related items — for food service operations across parks, healthcare facilities, schools, and state institutions. The code appears in RFPs and ITNs for produce contracts that bundle multiple fresh-product categories rather than isolating a single variety. Issuing bodies include county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, state procurement offices, and school districts operating food-service programs under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Vendors responding to these solicitations typically supply produce as part of broader food-service agreements that also encompass non-produce items, with emphasis on food-safety compliance, delivery schedules, seasonal pricing adjustments, and regulatory documentation.

Recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdiction types. Collier County's North Collier Regional Park food-services ITN (due March 6, 2025) and Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposal request (due August 21, 2026) represent county and healthcare-sector demand, while the State of Georgia's food, supplies, and kitchen products IFB (due June 22, 2026) and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) reflect state and school-district procurement. The school-district bid is the most detailed recent opportunity, specifying 300+ food items including produce, domestic-sourcing preferences, whole-grain specifications, fluid-milk temperature and hold-time requirements, firm pricing for 15 days post-award with escalation provisions tied to USDA and CPI data, and Buy American compliance. Georgia and Florida show recent solicitation activity under this code.
