UNSPSC 50476708: Canned or jarred organic potato yams

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

UNSPSC 50476708 Canned or jarred organic potato yams is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes shelf-stable canned or jarred organic yam products, but recent state and local solicitations in the dataset do not request organic yams specifically. Instead, state and local governments buying under related food commodity codes — such as canned vegetables, canned tomatoes, and general food service supplies — are soliciting through Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), Gwinnett County, Oregon Department of Corrections, school districts, and state departments of corrections. The actual work being solicited involves bulk food procurement for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services, typically as line items within broader food service contracts rather than as standalone canned yam purchases. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, county purchasing offices, school districts, and state corrections departments across multiple jurisdictions.

The code shows activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent solicitations, though the available opportunities do not show specific procurement of canned organic yams. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), which covers 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (quotes due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026). These solicitations emphasize F.O.B. Destination delivery, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, three verifiable references, and firm fixed pricing. The code itself reports no distinct recent opportunities specifically for organic canned yams; pursuit is not recommended absent direct evidence of demand under this specific commodity classification.
