UNSPSC 50436705: Dried organic greater yams

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

UNSPSC 50436705 Dried organic greater yams is a Commodity code that describes dried yam products meeting organic certification standards. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevant solicitations; the opportunities posted in the source are primarily indexed to broader grocery, produce, and food service categories rather than to dried yams specifically. The City of Edinburg, Texas (RFP 2026017, due August 4, 2026) solicits food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily across five supply categories including produce and snacks, but does not isolate dried yams as a line item. Similarly, the Oregon Department of Corrections and various school districts (Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County in Georgia) have posted recent IFBs and RFPs for dried beans, fresh produce, eggs, and general grocery items—categories that may incidentally include dried yams but do not feature them prominently in disclosed specifications or line-item detail. The State of Illinois (FY-27 IVHQ quarterly food order, due June 26, 2026) and State of Georgia (fresh produce IFB, due May 27, 2026) procurements similarly focus on fresh produce and staple groceries without explicit reference to dried yams.

Issuing bodies soliciting under related grocery and produce codes span state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state procurement, Georgia), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County systems in Georgia), and municipal bodies (City of Edinburg, Texas). Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurements), Texas (TDCJ and municipal activity), Virginia (Fairfax County), Oregon (state corrections), and Missouri (Rockwood school district). The code shows no recent solicitations explicitly for dried organic yams; vendors evaluating this commodity should monitor school nutrition, corrections facility, and state food service RFPs for produce categories that may include dried yams as subordinate line items, though current market signals under this specific code are limited.
