UNSPSC 50446704: Frozen globe yams

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

UNSPSC 50446704 Frozen globe yams is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its scope. The recent opportunities posted under or near this code in the dataset span frozen vegetables broadly (carrots, corn, assorted blends, mixed varieties), fresh produce, and comprehensive grocery procurement for correctional facilities, school districts, and health and human services agencies, but none explicitly solicit frozen globe yams as a line item. State and local purchasing offices appear to aggregate yams, if procured at all, within broader frozen vegetable or produce categories rather than issuing standalone solicitations keyed to this specific commodity.

The issuing bodies across the frozen vegetable and related grocery landscape include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services commissions (Texas), county and municipal school districts (Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, Virginia, Pennsylvania), county correctional facilities (Pennsylvania), and regional cooperative purchasing consortia (Georgia Educational Cooperative). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia, with secondary presence in Connecticut, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for frozen corn and frozen potatoes (response deadline July 24, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable bid for state-supported living centers (response deadline July 13, 2026), and multiple school district food bids across Georgia and Missouri for comprehensive grocery supply spanning July 2026 through mid-year 2027 contract periods. Pricing in the frozen vegetable category has ranged from $0.30 to $0.67 per pound in recent awards, with FOB destination delivery, firm fixed pricing, six-month minimum shelf life, and compliance with FDA/USDA standards and HACCP requirements standard across all recent solicitations.
