UNSPSC 50486705: Greater yam purees

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

UNSPSC 50486705 Greater yam purees (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The source contains sixteen recent state and local opportunities spanning June 2026 back to January 2026, none of which involve yam purees or any specialty produce purees; instead, the opportunities represent general food service and school nutrition procurements for fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy products, and prepared foods. The code shows minimal relevant activity, with no recent solicitations specifically targeting yam purees as a commodity.

The opportunities posted under this code reflect broad-based food service demand from school districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional facilities across multiple states. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia and Illinois state agencies), county school systems (Muscogee County, Liberty County, Burke County, Douglas County, Fairfax County, Savannah-Chatham, Ben Hill, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri), and regional buying cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products supporting the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (closed April 6, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026), and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (due March 4, 2026). Geographic concentration shows activity in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, with school districts and state health agencies as the primary repeat buyers. The activities actually being solicited—fresh produce, canned and frozen foods, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees for institutional food service—diverge substantially from the commodity code's stated focus on yam purees.
