UNSPSC 50476709: Canned or jarred organic white guinea yams

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

UNSPSC 50476709 Canned or jarred organic white guinea yams is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not appear to align with active procurement demand. The code nominally describes a highly specific organic produce product, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it involve broad food-service procurement for state institutions, schools, and correctional facilities purchasing dozens to hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, frozen entrees, canned vegetables, condiments, and food-service supplies—not organic guinea yams. The issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, departments of corrections, county purchasing offices, and school districts, but none of the posted solicitations name canned or jarred organic white guinea yams as a line item or specification requirement.

State and local procurement activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, driven by recurrent bids from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (Lufkin and El Paso State Supported Living Centers), Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission IFB HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumable foods (due October 23, 2026), the Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (due June 19, 2026, with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest in February 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity; vendors pursuing opportunities in this taxonomy should expect to compete primarily on commodity staples—canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, frozen goods, and food-service supplies—rather than specialized organic produce items.
