UNSPSC 50476702: Canned or jarred organic asiatic bitter yams

The variety of organic yams known as organic asiatic bitter yams that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50476702 Canned or jarred organic asiatic bitter yams is a Commodity code that has no identifiable recent state and local procurement activity. The eight opportunities posted between May and October 2026 involve school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and county services soliciting shelf-stable and fresh food products—including canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, produce, and kitchen supplies—but none of these solicitations mention organic asiatic bitter yams or yams of any variety. The Oregon Department of Corrections bid for canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) and the School Nutrition Program bids from Ben Hill County and Burke County in Georgia specify canned vegetables and fresh produce broadly, but yams do not appear in any posted scope. The Texas HHSC procurement for supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792V2) encompasses 210 line items across fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated categories but does not name yams. Similarly, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products bid (304T26300CF) details approximately 382 food line items without reference to this commodity.

State and local buyers under this code tier are school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections), county services departments (Gwinnett County), and state university or institutional food service operations, with activity concentrated in Texas and Georgia between May and October 2026. Geographic spread covers Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ facilities), Georgia (school districts and county nutrition programs), and Oregon (correctional facility). However, the apparent mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual posted opportunities—no recent solicitation has named organic asiatic bitter yams or yams as line items—suggests this code sees little or no active procurement at the state and local level. Practitioners should verify whether yams or yam products appear under different commodity or family codes before pursuing activity here.
