UNSPSC 50486704: Globe yam purees

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

UNSPSC 50486704 Globe yam purees, a Commodity code, is purchased by state and local governments almost entirely as part of broader food supply contracts for institutional food service operations—primarily correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and county senior services programs. Recent solicitations show that yam purees do not appear as line items in their own right; instead, the code designation reflects the taxonomic categorization of food products within larger consumables procurements that bundle prepared foods, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, proteins, condiments, and food service supplies under single comprehensive awards. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), state correctional and penal authorities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), public school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia). No vendor has been named as a repeat buyer across recent postings, though Texas HHSC appears three times in the posted opportunities.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with annual quantities from 1 to 24 cases per item and F.O.B. Destination delivery required within seven days of order; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (due October 19, 2026), including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and vegetables delivered to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school nutrition (due June 15, 2026), encompassing fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and kitchen supplies across four school locations; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidder preferences of 5 percent. No recent opportunity explicitly names globe yam purees as a solicited item, indicating the code sees little direct activity in current state and local procurement postings.
