UNSPSC 50417066: Organic yampi

The type of organic vegetable known as organic yampi

UNSPSC 50417066 Organic yampi is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single produce item — yam root vegetables — yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reveal little relevant activity. The source records describe fresh produce procurement spanning dozens of line items (apples, bananas, peppers, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, leafy greens, and eggs), school nutrition programs, and institutional food service contracts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida. None of the solicitation documents explicitly name yams or yampi as a primary or standalone procurement target; instead, the code appears to have been applied broadly to general produce purchasing and child nutrition services that may incidentally include yam products among a much wider commodity basket. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county education systems — Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa), Bulloch County School District, Early County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Douglas County School System (Georgia Cooperative) — along with state-level procurement by the State of Georgia and Rockwood R-VI Child Nutrition Services.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with school districts representing the dominant buyer segment. Representative solicitations include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (RFP, due June 8, 2026) encompassing 300+ food items for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; Northside Independent School District's fresh produce RFP (due May 7, 2026) requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable-compliant produce delivered five days weekly to all campuses; Hillsborough County Public Schools' USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program procurement (due March 11, 2026) targeting 18 elementary schools with pre-cut specialty fruits and vegetables; and the Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two). The code's application to yampi appears incidental; business development professionals should treat this code as a mismatch and verify that target opportunities explicitly require organic yam products before pursuing.
