UNSPSC 50446703: Frozen chinese yams

The variety of yams known as chinese yams that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446703 Frozen chinese yams (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The source records show no solicitations specifically for frozen Chinese yams; instead, the opportunities demonstrate solicitation activity concentrated on broader frozen vegetable procurement, fresh produce, grocery staples, and food service supply for institutional buyers including correctional facilities, school districts, and state health agencies.

Recent opportunities under related frozen-vegetable UNSPSC codes show that state and local buyers solicit frozen vegetables (carrots, mixed assortments, corn, potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, green beans, and stir-fry blends) through ITBs and RFPs, typically specifying Grade A or B products, FDA/USDA compliance, six-month minimum shelf life, and delivery FOB destination to central warehouses or multiple school sites. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple frozen-vegetable ITBs in recent weeks with response dates in late June and early July 2026, applied a five percent Oregon-goods preference plus five percent resident-bidder preference, and awarded prior contracts at unit prices ranging from $0.42 to $0.689 per pound depending on variety and case size. School districts in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia solicit grocery and frozen-food items as part of comprehensive child nutrition procurement spanning hundreds of line items, with contract terms typically July 2026 through June 2027 and firm pricing requirements. Correctional facilities in Texas and Pennsylvania, state health and human services agencies in Texas, and independent school districts across multiple states represent the primary issuing bodies. No recent opportunities specifically naming frozen Chinese yams appear in the dataset; pursuit of this code requires verification that frozen Chinese yams align with actual buyer specifications and that alternative commodity codes may better capture applicable opportunities.
