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 (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — organic yams in dried form — does not match the recent solicitations tagged under it, which instead cover kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, CACFP meal program supplies, and institutional cafeteria food products broadly. The mismatch suggests either misclassification in source records or that state and local procurement offices are not currently soliciting dried organic yams under this code.

The recent opportunities are dominated by dried beans and institutional meal service across Georgia correctional industries, Oregon corrections and general state procurement, Texas criminal justice facilities, and Illinois state agencies. Georgia Correctional Industries (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) and the Oregon Department of Corrections (bid S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans at a historical price of $0.493 per pound) represent the most directly relevant recent activity, both seeking bulk dried legumes for institutional meal service. The City of Edinburg, Texas (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) sought broader CACFP meal program supplies including proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and janitorial items for approximately 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference applied under Texas Government Code Section 271.9051. If dried organic yams are procured by state and local bodies, activity is not visible in current solicitation channels under this code.
