UNSPSC 50436704: Dried organic globe yams

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

UNSPSC 50436704 Dried organic globe yams is a Commodity code covering institutional bulk food procurement, but the recent state and local activity tagged under this code focuses predominantly on dried legumes — kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans — for institutional meal service rather than yams. State and local governments use this code to solicit dried protein-rich staple foods for correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, public school cafeterias, and state agency kitchens. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), state procurement offices acting on behalf of criminal-justice systems, cities managing child nutrition programs, and state purchasing divisions conducting bulk procurement for institutional food service. The work involves straightforward commodity bidding with firm, all-inclusive pricing covering transportation and delivery to specified institutional distribution points or feeding sites.

Recent solicitations span Georgia, Texas, and Oregon. The Georgia Department of Corrections Industries (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) solicited kidney beans in increments of 880 bags with electronic PDF submissions and strict specification compliance. The Oregon Department of Corrections (bid S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) requested approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans triple-cleaned to U.S. No. 2 or better grade, FOB destination to Salem, with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered suppliers and a historical price of $0.493 per pound. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) procured cafeteria food products including dried legumes across multiple warehouse locations with firm pricing, FOB Destination terms, and a 1.5 percent Texas SmartBuy administrative fee. The City of Edinburg, Texas (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Activity in this commodity code remains steady across state corrections, institutional education, and child nutrition programs with standard institutional pricing and delivery models.
