UNSPSC 50466702: Canned or jarred asiatic bitter yams

The variety of yams known as asiatic bitter yams that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466702 Canned or jarred Asiatic bitter yams is a Commodity code that in practice does not support a meaningful recent procurement signal — state and local opportunities tagged under it do not feature the product. Recent solicitations broadly classified as food purchasing show active demand from state health and human services agencies, school districts, county governments, and corrections departments for shelf-stable prepared and canned foods, frozen proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and consumable supplies for institutional food service, but the recent-opportunities block contains no bids specifically requesting canned or jarred Asiatic bitter yams. One Oregon Department of Corrections IFB from June 2026 solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes; Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurements have issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items (May 2026) and food and consumable products for state-supported living centers (June and August 2026); Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products with approximately 382 line items (May 2026); and school districts in Georgia and Illinois have posted food bids. None of these opportunities name canned or jarred Asiatic bitter yams as a line item or allowable equivalent.

The issuing-body mix reflects state procurement offices (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County in Georgia), and independent school districts (Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools). Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings from June through October 2026. The code shows no active demand signal — vendors evaluating pursuit under this code should treat it as inactive for current state and local procurement and focus business development on the broader Food Services Segment and Family codes where institutional food purchasing is concentrated.
