UNSPSC 50476710: Canned or jarred organic yellow guinea yams

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

UNSPSC 50476710, Canned or jarred organic yellow guinea yams, is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetable products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service operations. State and local buying under this code centers on bulk procurement of preserved vegetables — primarily canned fruits, vegetables, and related shelf-stable staples — for canteens, cafeterias, food service supply chains, and community nutrition programs operated by state health and human services agencies, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state correctional and institutional care facilities. Recent solicitations show state agencies and school nutrition programs purchasing hundreds of line items of canned and jarred vegetables alongside proteins, dairy, dry goods, and consumable supplies in large volume batches; the code itself represents one commodity within much larger, integrated food-service RFPs and IFBs.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumable products serving state supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso, with bids due October 23, 2026 (HHS0018082) and response dates in prior months; these encompass 20–22 line items including canned and prepared vegetables, with annual usage in single-digit to low-double-digit case quantities per item. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited informal written quotes due October 19, 2026 (PE77023NONST2027000000782) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables and proteins for senior services. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division bid canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026, S2910000017145) with Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidder preferences applied. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each solicited school nutrition food bids in May–June 2026 covering hundreds of line items across fresh, frozen, and canned vegetables. These procurements typically require FOB Destination delivery, compliance with USDA grade standards, HACCP and food safety certifications, and references from similar institutional contracts.
