UNSPSC 50436710: Dried organic yellow guinea yams

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

UNSPSC 50436710 Dried organic yellow guinea yams, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity in recent state and local solicitations. The recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit bulk dried beans (pinto and red), fresh produce (fruits, vegetables, and eggs), and comprehensive grocery and food-service supplies for school districts, corrections facilities, and child nutrition programs — not dried organic yellow guinea yams specifically. The Oregon Department of Corrections and state school districts have posted multiple bids for dried pinto beans and fresh produce in substantial quantities, but no sourcing activity for dried organic yellow guinea yams appears in the dataset.

The issuing bodies span state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state school systems (Georgia, Texas), county school districts (Fairfax County Virginia, Muscogee County Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Georgia, Rockwood R-VI Missouri, Douglas County Georgia), a city child nutrition program (City of Edinburg Texas), and a statewide procurement office (Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ). Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 ITB for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans at $0.43 per pound historical pricing (S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026), the Douglas County School System's February 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 IFB for Master Grocery K-12 across 52 school locations (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District's April 2026 procurement for over 900 grocery line items for the 2026-27 school year (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026). Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon showing the most recent volume. The code appears to be a misclassification; firms pursuing commodity agricultural contracting at state and local level should monitor dried legume and fresh produce solicitations rather than expect demand for dried organic yellow guinea yams specifically.
