UNSPSC 50426868: Dried yuca

The type of vegetable known as yuca that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426868 Dried yuca, a Commodity code, does not reflect current state and local procurement activity. Recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code actually solicit broadly for dried legumes (pinto and red beans), fresh produce (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus), eggs, and miscellaneous grocery staples including proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and condiments to support child nutrition programs, school cafeteria operations, and institutional food service. The code's nominal scope—dried cassava root—has not appeared in any recent solicitation reviewed.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County school systems in Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), state procurement divisions (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of TDCJ; State of Georgia; State of Illinois), and municipal child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Missouri, with additional recent solicitations in Oregon, Virginia, Illinois, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division issuing ITB S2910000016233 for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans due March 20, 2026; the City of Edinburg, Texas issuing RFP 2026017 for CACFP meal program food and nonfood supplies due August 4, 2026; and Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 due April 27, 2026, spanning 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens with weekly deliveries. The code's application appears inconsistent with its stated commodity name, suggesting a taxonomic misalignment in how state and local jurisdictions are classifying routine food procurement.
