UNSPSC 50486700: Yam purees

The type of vegetable known as yams which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486700 Yam purees is a Class code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The source block contains fourteen recent opportunities spanning June 2026 back to January 2026, but none solicits yam purees specifically. Instead, state and local jurisdictions are buying broad food-service products: canned tomatoes, fresh produce (apples, bananas, peppers, carrots, leafy greens, eggs), frozen and prepared entrees, dairy products, proteins, grains, condiments, and consumable supplies including food-service gloves and disposable containers. These solicitations represent school nutrition programs, correctional facility food services, state-supported living centers, and veterans' homes seeking weekly or annual fixed-price supply contracts with unit pricing, firm pricing periods, and delivery into multiple school sites or distribution centers.

The issuing bodies are school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Ben Hill County, Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County systems in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Douglas County in Georgia), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Veterans Home, State of Georgia), and other public food-service operations. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC procurement for supplemental food and consumables at state hospitals and living centers statewide (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with historical annual value of $1.5 million); the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract spanning 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026). Yam purees do not appear in any of these recent solicitations, suggesting the code either sees no current state and local demand or is routinely misapplied by procurement offices tagging broader food-supply RFPs.
