UNSPSC 50486706: Japanese yam purees

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

UNSPSC 50486706 Japanese yam purees (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block includes no solicitations specifically requesting Japanese yam purees. State and local governments buying under this code in practice procure broad shelf-stable food supplies—canned vegetables, proteins, grains, condiments, dairy products, and prepared foods—for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services programs, and school nutrition operations. Work spans consumable food products and food service supplies (containers, napkins, straws, gloves) with typical contract volumes ranging from dozens to hundreds of line items. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, departments of corrections, county board offices, school district nutrition programs, and state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies. Repeat buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (posting multiple IFBs for state-supported living centers), Georgia school districts, and Oregon and Texas state agencies.

The code sees recent activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities span multiple food categories rather than a single product line: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods (prepared entrees, ingredients, and service supplies) at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and sauces for senior services with quotes due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (meeting USDA Grade B or better) with bids due June 19, 2026; and Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia sought bids on nearly 400 food line items across multiple categories for five schools with sealed bids due June 5, 2026. No recent opportunity in the block targets Japanese yam purees specifically; the code appears inactive at the commodity level despite broader food-procurement volume in state and local jurisdictions.
