UNSPSC 50496603: Organic chinese yam purees

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

UNSPSC 50496603 Organic chinese yam purees is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity. The opportunities tagged under this code span Illinois Veterans Homes quarterly food orders, Texas Health and Human Services state hospitals and supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections cafeteria and tomato products, Georgia school districts' nutrition programs, and Missouri school districts' grocery procurement—none of which explicitly reference organic yam purees or specialty ethnic produce items. The code appears misaligned with the actual solicitations posted, which center on mainstream grocery supply, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and canned goods for institutional food service rather than specialized organic root vegetables.

State and local issuing bodies active in food procurement include school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia Department procurement), and education-focused buying cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). These buyers solicit through RFPs, IFBs, and RFQs across a calendar year, with response windows typically 30 to 60 days and contract periods running July 1 through June 30 aligned to school fiscal years. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia. No sourcing, award data, or vendor names appear in the records, and the UNSPSC code does not map accurately to the commodities actually being bought under recent postings.
