UNSPSC 50426706: Dried japanese yams

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

UNSPSC 50426706 Dried japanese yams is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying bulk dried beans — pinto, red, black, and kidney beans — for institutional food service, correctional facilities, child-care meal programs, and state agency food supply. The sourced opportunities show no active procurement of dried yams; instead, the code appears to be capturing dried-legume purchases that fall outside more specific bean classifications. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state departments of corrections, state purchasing divisions, city governments operating child-care food programs, and institutional food service operations. Work being solicited spans bulk bean procurement with institutional-use specifications: triple-cleaned beans meeting USDA No. 2 or better grades, FDA and HACCP compliance, specified moisture-content limits, acceptable defect thresholds, palletization requirements, and delivery to institutional distribution centers or meal-service locations. Quantities range from approximately 880 bags (Georgia Correctional Industries kidney beans, October 2026) to 42,500 pounds (Oregon Department of Corrections pinto and red beans, June 2026), with pricing typically all-inclusive of freight, fuel surcharges, and delivery on FOB destination terms.

Recent opportunities cluster in Oregon and Georgia, with additional activity in Texas and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, IFB due June 19, 2026) with a 10% in-state preference (5% for Oregon-fabricated goods, 5% for Oregon headquarters) and a historical price of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA. The State of Oregon solicited dried black beans, triple-cleaned (S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026) for institutional use. Georgia Correctional Industries issued RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (due October 9, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited CACFP meal-program supplies including dried-bean components (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning multiple line items including beans across five geographic warehouse areas (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2). The State of Illinois solicited weekly food orders for a quarterly cycle (FY-27 IVHQ, due June 26, 2026). Delivery timelines typically range from 45 days post-PO (ODOC) to Monday-through-Friday daily delivery before noon (Edinburg CACFP). No recent opportunities explicitly name dried yams.
