UNSPSC 50486701: African bitter yam purees

The variety of yams known as african bitter yams which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486701 African bitter yam purees is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code does not appear in any of the posted solicitations examined; instead, state and local governments are actively procuring general food products—fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy items, and consumable supplies—through school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and health and human services facilities. The recent opportunities cluster around bulk grocery procurement for institutional food service rather than specialty items like African bitter yam purees.

School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with recent solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). State corrections departments and health and human services commissions also solicit regularly: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple produce and canned-goods bids, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers, and the Illinois Veterans Home sought weekly food orders. Activity concentrates in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical value of $1.5 million; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000015837 (posted January 26, 2026, due February 9, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes. The code itself shows no actionable procurement signal and does not warrant pursuit unless your firm has a specific strategic interest in African bitter yam purees for institutional food service markets.
