UNSPSC 50466865: Canned or jarred yampi

The type of vegetable known as yampi that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466865 Canned or jarred yampi is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable food products for institutional food service operations — specifically canned or jarred yam preparations for use in schools, correctional facilities, health and human services institutions, and other public sector dining programs. Recent state and local solicitations under and near this code show substantial activity in institutional food procurement, though yampi as a discrete line item appears infrequently; instead, jurisdictions buy canned vegetables, canned tomatoes, fresh and frozen produce, and broader food service categories that may include yam products as one option among many. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), and state veterans' facilities (Illinois Veterans Home), reflecting the code's use across K–12 nutrition programs, higher-education food service, and adult institutional care.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, based on recent bid activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato solicitation (S2910000016405, ITB, due April 6, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases with USDA Grade B or better and sodium limits), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026, with a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period and firm fixed unit rates on all line items), and the Ben Hill County Schools food bid (PE61000NONST2027000000006, IFB, due June 15, 2026, covering multiple food categories with Buy American Act compliance required and delivery to four school locations). School nutrition programs typically specify canned vegetables including tomatoes, corn, green beans, and other staples as line items within broader food procurement; yam products when listed appear alongside other canned fruits and vegetables in mixed-category solicitations emphasizing USDA compliance, nutrition standards, shelf life, and weekly or as-needed delivery to school kitchens and central warehouses. Pricing is almost universally firm and fixed for initial contract periods with allowances for mid-term adjustments tied to USDA market indices or CPI where the source supports them, and most contracts run July 1 through June 30 to align with school fiscal years.
