UNSPSC 50456865: Frozen organic yampi

The type of organic vegetable known as organic yampi that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50456865 Frozen organic yampi, a Commodity code, nominally covers a single specialty agricultural product but does not align with the actual scope of recent state and local food procurement activity posted under this code. The recent opportunities show that Georgia state agencies, Georgia school districts, and other jurisdictions are using this code to solicit bids for broad food service categories — including fresh produce, frozen and grocery items, eggs, meats, dairy, grains, and miscellaneous food products — rather than frozen yampi specifically. The issuing bodies are predominantly K–12 school districts managing child nutrition programs under USDA meal reimbursement, supported by state education agencies and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. School districts are the dominant repeat buyers, with multiple solicitations from Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Douglas County School System all active in the March-to-June 2026 posting window. Dallas Independent School District in Texas also posted during this period. State education or food service departments in Georgia and Missouri appear as secondary issuers.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with Texas representation from Dallas ISD. Georgia shows the heaviest recent volume across multiple school districts and state-level food bids. Representative recent solicitations include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (posted January 21, 2026; due February 18, 2026), seeking a main-line food distributor to supply approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 for Fresh Produce (posted March 22, 2026; due April 23, 2026), soliciting 72 fresh produce items across 60 school sites; and the Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (posted May 11, 2026; due June 8, 2026), seeking line-by-line bids for over 300 food items and 60 non-food products to support National School Lunch and Breakfast programs. Bid structures vary from IFB to RFP formats, with most contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, and firm pricing required throughout the contract term. School districts consistently emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain and low-sodium options, and liability insurance requirements of $500,000 to $2,000,000 depending on the issuer.
