UNSPSC 50426707: Dried lesser yams

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

UNSPSC 50426707 Dried lesser yams is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government purchasing activity in the recent solicitation record. The code nominally describes a single dried vegetable product, but none of the fourteen recent state and local contract opportunities posted in the past six months reference dried yams or anything remotely similar. Instead, recent procurements under related food-supply codes capture broad-based grocery and food-service procurement spanning dried beans, fresh produce, proteins, grains, dairy, and miscellaneous pantry staples for institutional meal programs, correctional facilities, school nutrition services, and child care operations. The mismatch between the code definition and actual buying patterns suggests either that dried lesser yams are not actively procured by state and local bodies, or that opportunities for this commodity are classified under broader Family or Class codes rather than this specific Commodity designation.

The recent opportunities in the dataset show strong activity in fresh produce and packaged grocery procurement across school districts, state correctional systems, and municipal nutrition programs in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia, but no issuing body has solicited dried yams as a standalone line item or contract category. Absent evidence of actual procurement under this code, the commodity presents no current pursuit opportunity based on state and local activity patterns as of July 2026.
