UNSPSC 50436866: Dried organic yautia

The type of organic vegetable known as organic yautia that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436866 Dried organic yautia, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single definitive match in recent solicitations is the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 invitation to bid for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (ITB S-29100-00016233, due March 20, 2026), though dried pinto beans differ materially from yautia—a tropical tuber with distinct culinary and nutritional properties. The remaining opportunities in the dataset—CACFP meal programs, school nutrition grocery and produce contracts, and institutional food supply for corrections and child care facilities—reference broad food and grocery categories without naming yautia or specialty dried tubers. The code shows virtually no demonstrated state and local procurement demand for dried organic yautia specifically, suggesting either minimal institutional purchasing at the code level or a classification mismatch between how jurisdictions tag their food procurements and the commodity's position in the UNSPSC taxonomy.

Issuing bodies in the broader food-procurement landscape include state departments of corrections, school districts of varying sizes, county school systems, and municipal child care agencies across Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia. Repeat buyers include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC), Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Fairfax County Public Schools, and Rockwood R-VI School District—all of which solicit food supplies on annual or multi-year cycles. However, none of these recent solicitations explicitly name dried organic yautia or tropical tuber products. Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia. Unless yautia appears in institutional menus with measurable frequency, this code likely represents either archived taxonomy entries or items purchased through general grocery line-item aggregation rather than targeted procurement.
