UNSPSC 50436701: Dried organic african bitter yams

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

UNSPSC 50436701 Dried organic African bitter yams is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not track the code's nominal scope. Instead, the solicitations show state and local governments buying dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans — and broader institutional food supplies for correctional facilities, child nutrition programs, and cafeteria operations. The work solicited spans procurement of bulk dried legumes for institutional cooking, complete food-supply packages for meal programs serving hundreds of daily recipients, and multi-category food and kitchen products for state agency warehouses and prison systems. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and agriculture, state agency purchasing divisions, correctional industries offices, cities, and regional program administrators. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the State of Illinois, and the State of Georgia appear as repeat solicitors under the code in the recent-opportunity window.

The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans (92100ERFQ0020612027) due October 9, 2026, seeking 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140) due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered suppliers; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products (304T26300CF) spanning 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments, extended to May 4, 2026; and the City of Edinburg, Texas's RFP for Child and Adult Care Food Program supplies (RFP2026017) due August 4, 2026, serving 400 children daily across five supply categories with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The mismatch between the code's organic-yam title and the actual procurement of common dried legumes and institutional food supplies suggests either a data-entry error in the source or inconsistent tagging by issuing bodies.
