UNSPSC 50436700: Dried organic yams

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

UNSPSC 50436700 Dried organic yams, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The source records no solicitations explicitly requesting dried yams or dried organic produce; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span fresh produce (apples, bananas, vegetables, eggs), cafeteria food staples (proteins, grains, dairy, condiments), and dried beans (pinto and red varieties). The mismatch suggests either miscoding of opportunities in the source system or that the code itself is not actively used in state and local procurement for its nominal commodity.

The tagged opportunities do reflect active procurement by school districts, state departments of corrections, and state education agencies across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia for food service supply under related UNSPSC codes. Fairfax County Public Schools issued an IFB for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026) covering 76 minimum line items for 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice sought cafeteria food products across five warehouse regions via IFB (due May 4, 2026); and the Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System in Georgia solicited fresh produce annually via ITB or RFP (due dates ranging from March to May 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections procured approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (ITB, due March 20, 2026) and a second lot of 42,500 pounds (ITB, due June 19, 2026). No recent opportunities directly solicit dried organic yams, and the code shows no current relevance to active state and local buying patterns.
