UNSPSC 50456704: Frozen organic globe yams

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

UNSPSC 50456704 Frozen organic globe yams is a Commodity code that nominally names a single produce item, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not feature frozen organic globe yams as a distinct line item or focus. Instead, the code appears to be used as a tagging mechanism for broad food service procurement solicitations that encompass frozen foods, fresh produce, grocery staples, dairy, proteins, and prepared entrees across school nutrition programs and state food operations. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts—Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas)—alongside state procurement offices in Georgia and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts. These issuing bodies solicit food service products to support child nutrition programs, including the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with line-item and full-service food distribution contracts that run annually from July 1 through June 30 of the following year.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with the largest recent opportunities including the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026), and the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined (due March 4, 2026). Other representative solicitations include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid spanning 300+ food items for the 2026-2027 school year (due June 8, 2026), City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items under the School Nutrition Program (due May 15, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items solicitation for over 900 line items (due April 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce contract for 72 items across 60 school sites (due April 23, 2026), and Dallas ISD's RFP for various food products through its Maria Luna Warehouse (due April 2, 2026). All school district contracts require vendor compliance with HACCP plans, Buy American provisions, E-Verify authorization, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 depending on district), firm pricing for the contract term, and delivery to school sites or central warehouses Monday through Friday during breakfast and lunch service windows.
