UNSPSC 50486703: Chinese yam purees

The variety of yams known as chinese yams which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486703 Chinese yam purees is a Commodity code that rarely appears in state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block does not support a single solicitation explicitly seeking Chinese yam purees or similar specialty produce under this code. The few recent opportunities posted in this taxonomy span ready-to-eat institutional food services (fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, condiments, and food service supplies for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and senior services), bulk staple items (canned tomatoes, potatoes), and weekly food orders for institutional cafeterias. The code shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with its nominal scope, suggesting that state and local institutions either source yam products through broader produce contracts, regional food distributors, or do not currently bid specialty items under this Commodity designation.

The issuing bodies in related recent opportunities span Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office), Georgia counties and schools (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon state agencies (Department of Corrections), Illinois state procurement, and individual school districts. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon in the visible recent record. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center due October 23, 2026, and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026. These procurements target broad institutional food categories rather than specialty items, and none reference yam products. A business development professional evaluating this code should note the absence of recent Chinese yam demand signals and assess whether broader institutional food-service or produce-distribution vehicles represent more productive pursuit paths.
