UNSPSC 50436702: Dried organic asiatic bitter yams

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

UNSPSC 50436702 Dried organic asiatic bitter yams, a Commodity-level code, shows minimal alignment with the dried-bean procurement activity currently posted by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged under this code include kidney beans for Georgia Correctional Industries, black beans for the State of Oregon, pinto and red beans for the Oregon Department of Corrections, and broad food-supply solicitations by Georgia and Texas correctional and food-service agencies. None of these solicitations specifically request dried asiatic bitter yams or organic variants; instead, state and local buyers are consistently procuring common dried legumes—primarily beans in bulk for institutional meal service, food-assistance programs, and correctional facilities. The issuing bodies are state agencies (corrections departments, purchasing divisions, and food-service bureaus) and local government entities (municipal school districts and Boys & Girls Club affiliates) in states including Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois.

Recent opportunities demonstrate that dried-bean procurement at the state and local level prioritizes institutional suppliers capable of meeting USDA grading standards, bulk delivery to multiple distribution points, triple-cleaning and quality-control certifications, and fixed all-inclusive pricing with FOB destination delivery. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB on June 5, 2026 (due June 19) for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a 10% Oregon-manufacturer preference, FOB destination to Salem within 45 days, and a historical benchmark price of $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026 with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification documentation. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB (304T26300CF) for approximately 382 food-commodity line items including dried beans, with FOB destination delivery to six Texas distribution points and awards made by line item based on best value. The code exhibits no recent solicitations for dried asiatic bitter yams, suggesting limited state and local demand for this specialty commodity or a data-classification misalignment between the commodity scope and actual procurement activity.
