UNSPSC 50426701: Dried african bitter yams

The variety of yams known as african bitter yams that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426701 Dried African bitter yams is a Commodity code that sees no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The ten most recent opportunities posted under or near this code span fresh produce, dried beans, grocery items, and cafeteria food products for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and child care services—none of which specifically reference dried African bitter yams or similar specialty dried yam products. The code appears to be a terminal taxonomy entry for a product category that does not drive meaningful sourcing activity in state and local government markets today.

The opportunities in the dataset involve mainstream commodity foods procured by school districts, state corrections agencies, and municipal child nutrition programs. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate bids for dried pinto beans (127,500 pounds in March 2026 and 42,500 pounds in June 2026), school districts across Georgia and Virginia solicited fresh produce and grocery staples for meal programs, and the City of Edinburg, Texas sought food supplies for a Child and Adult Care Food Program—all indicating active sourcing for conventional staple proteins, grains, produce, and dairy rather than specialty imports. Unless your firm supplies dried African bitter yams as a product line to food service distributors or state procurement offices that source ethnic or specialty ingredients for institutional meal programs, this code does not signal a near-term opportunity worth pursuing.
