UNSPSC 50456710: Frozen organic yellow guinea yams

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

UNSPSC 50456710 Frozen organic yellow guinea yams is a Commodity code covering frozen specialty vegetable products, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct solicitation for yams specifically. Instead, the code has been tagged to broader food procurement opportunities that encompass shelf-stable and fresh food items for institutional consumption. State and local governments procuring under this code include county boards of commissioners, state purchasing offices, and school district boards of education. These bodies source food primarily through informal written quotes (IWQ), line-by-line bids, and formal competitive procurement for institutional feeding programs including senior services, school lunch and breakfast programs, and general food supply contracts. Scope typically includes fresh produce, frozen vegetables, canned proteins, dairy, grains, and paper or cleaning supplies bundled into comprehensive food-service packages with domestic sourcing preferences, nutritional specifications (whole-grain requirements, low-sodium formulations, no artificial additives), and strict temperature and handling protocols for perishables.

Recent activity centers in Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) on October 13, 2026 with a response date of October 19, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, canned vegetables) for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026.
