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 with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to the code's scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect purchases of Chinese yam purees or similar specialty produce items. Instead, the sourced records show competitive solicitations for mainstream food-service commodities: weekly food orders for veterans' facilities, bulk canned tomatoes and tomato paste for correctional institutions, fresh produce and eggs for school districts, supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers, and comprehensive grocery supply contracts for K-12 school nutrition programs. School districts and state institutional buyers—including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, state-supported living centers, and multiple Georgia school systems—account for the bulk of recent activity across the code's tagged opportunities, though the commodities actually being procured span standard food-service ingredients and fresh produce rather than specialty or regional vegetable products.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in the Southeast (Georgia school districts, Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and Douglas County School System) and in Texas and Oregon, where state institutions (HHSC, ODOC, TDCJ, and state hospitals) issue regular food-supply IFBs and RFPs. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response deadline July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response deadline June 19, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP for food supply and distribution services serving approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools (due February 18, 2026). The code shows routine procurement activity centered on institutional bulk food supply rather than specialty produce, and vendors pursuing opportunities under this classification should verify that their product actually aligns with the issuing body's specifications before submitting responses, as tagging mismatches appear common in the dataset.
