UNSPSC 50466704: Canned or jarred globe yams

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

UNSPSC 50466704 Canned or jarred globe yams is a Commodity code that names a single product line, though the recent state and local solicitations tagging this code do not actually procure canned or jarred yams. Instead, the tagged opportunities reflect broad food-service provisioning for state institutions, schools, and correctional facilities—encompassing dozens or hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and consumable supplies alongside the occasional canned vegetable. The issuing bodies are state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, Georgia, Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), county and municipal school districts (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners). Repeat buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (soliciting for state supported living centers and hospitals) and school nutrition programs across multiple districts.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with F.O.B. Destination delivery within seven days); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods (quotes due October 19, 2026, for the Department of Community Services); the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026, with 5 percent Oregon preference); and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for school nutrition food across four facilities (bids due June 15, 2026, under Buy American Act requirements). The code shows no decision-relevant recent activity specifically targeting canned or jarred globe yams as a named procurement line item—the UNSPSC taxonomy tag appears misaligned with the actual scope of work being solicited.
