UNSPSC 50466868: Canned or jarred yuca

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

UNSPSC 50466868 Canned or jarred yuca, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement; the single recent opportunity citing this code actually solicits broad food supply contracts where canned yuca may be one line item among hundreds, not a primary focus. State and local governments procuring under this code—when they do—typically address it as part of institutional food service contracting for school districts, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies serving diverse populations, rather than as a standalone specialty product. The issuing bodies in the recent record are predominantly school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), and state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home). None of the posted solicitations names canned yuca explicitly; the code appears incidental to larger grocery and produce contracts where vendors respond to hundreds of line items and the Commodity code assignment may reflect downstream UNSPSC categorization rather than active procurement demand.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, where school nutrition programs and state institutional food service drive the bulk of recent food procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), which encompasses multiple NIGP categories including canned goods, and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition food products (response due June 15, 2026). Neither solicitation specifically targets yuca or tropical vegetables. Vendors pursuing this code should recognize that canned yuca competes within broad food supply contracts where it typically represents a minor line item, if included at all, and appears most relevant to districts or facilities serving populations with cultural demand for Caribbean or Latin American food items—a characteristic not evident in the recent posted opportunities.
