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 sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity; the sourced opportunities span broad food service categories (weekly food orders, institutional food supply, school nutrition programs, and correctional facility provisioning) without clear evidence that canned globe yams specifically are being solicited under this code. Recent opportunities focus instead on general canned vegetables, tomatoes, fresh produce, and mixed food products across multiple state and local agencies.

The issuing bodies soliciting food products include state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Muscogee County School District, Georgia; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia; Burke County Public Schools, Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Douglas County School System, Georgia), and state-supported facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, state hospitals). Geographic activity centers in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs driving the majority of recent volume. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables with a response deadline of July 13, 2026 (estimated historical value $1.5 million annually); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned tomatoes with 7,616 cases due by June 19, 2026; Ben Hill County Schools' food bid with response due June 15, 2026 covering multiple product categories with Buy American requirements; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB due April 27, 2026, seeking supply to 45 schools with estimated substantial annual value. The code shows little targeted procurement activity for the specific commodity named, and business development professionals should verify whether actual opportunities under this UNSPSC code involve globe yams or whether the code assignment represents a broader food procurement categorization.
