UNSPSC 50436709: Dried organic white guinea yams

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

UNSPSC 50436709 Dried organic white guinea yams is a Commodity code that does not see meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code shows no recent solicitations for dried organic white guinea yams or closely related specialty dried tuber products from state agencies, counties, municipalities, school districts, or transit authorities. The recent opportunities tagged to this code in the source material span fresh produce (apples, bananas, produce items broadly), dried pinto and red beans, general grocery and food service supply, and cafeteria food products — none of which represent dried organic white guinea yams or a commodity family containing them.

The geographic and issuing-body patterns in the underlying source reflect activity in school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI and Muscogee County School Districts in Missouri and Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller, Georgia Department of Corrections or state food procurement divisions, State of Illinois), municipal food service programs (City of Edinburg, Texas for a Child and Adult Care Food Program), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). These buyers procure staple food products at scale, but the recent solicitations do not include requests for dried organic white guinea yams. Unless a buyer has filed a notice under this code for specialty dried tubers or equivalent African or Caribbean dried produce items, the code represents a low-activity category for the near term.
