UNSPSC 50496604: Organic globe yam purees

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

UNSPSC 50496604 Organic globe yam purees, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains fourteen food and produce solicitations from state agencies, county and school district nutrition programs, and state-supported living centers across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri; none of these opportunities specifically mention organic yam purees or yam products of any kind. The code nominally describes a narrow specialty food ingredient, but the actual solicitation activity captured here spans general school food service, institutional food supply, fresh produce procurement, and prepared entree distribution—none of which target yam purees as a line item or procurement focus.

School districts dominate the issuing bodies in this dataset, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Muscogee County School District (Georgia) all soliciting broad grocery and produce contracts. State agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, and State of Georgia round out the buyer mix. Recent solicitations include the Texas HHSC Food and Consumable Products IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a prior period value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomatoes IFB (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for 7,616 cases; the Ben Hill County Schools Food Bid (PE61000NONST2027000000006, due June 15, 2026) spanning produce, meat, dairy, and cafeteria furnishings across four schools; and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for weekly grocery delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. The geographic concentration centers on the Southeast—Georgia dominates with seven school district opportunities—followed by Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. If your firm supplies yam purees or specialty root vegetable products to institutional food service, this code's current inactivity suggests either that state and local procurement offices rarely specify yam products as distinct line items, that suppliers route these through broader commodity distributors rather than direct institutional contracts, or that current menu planning and nutrition programming does not prioritize yam-based offerings in school or facility nutrition cycles.
