UNSPSC 50466866: Canned or jarred yautia

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

UNSPSC 50466866 Canned or jarred yautia is a Commodity code representing a single-item agricultural preserve. State and local governments procure canned and jarred yautia primarily as food service staples for institutional feeding programs—school lunch systems, state correctional facilities, state hospitals, and state-supported living centers—where canned root vegetables anchor nutrition menus and accommodate bulk purchasing cycles. The recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for yautia specifically; instead, state and local buyers tag food-service RFPs and IFBs with broader canned-vegetable and food-supply codes, and yautia appears either as a line item within larger grocery procurements or not at all in the current market sample. Issuing bodies are heavily concentrated in K-12 school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and in state institutional facilities (Texas HHSC for state hospitals and supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia state institutions). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with districts soliciting hundreds of food line items annually and treating canned vegetables as commodity purchases under standing IFB or RFP agreements.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and South-Central regions (Texas, Missouri) where school-district procurement volume is highest, followed by Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia, Illinois) jurisdictions. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, covering NIGP food categories including canned goods), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (due April 6, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases with USDA Grade B or better), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens). The code itself shows negligible direct market activity—yautia is not named in any recent state or local solicitation—making it a low-velocity, niche commodity within the broader institutional food-service ecosystem. Purchasing appears driven by annual nutrition budgets and USDA commodity availability rather than consistent demand signaling.
