UNSPSC 50496605: Organic greater yam purees

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

UNSPSC 50496605 Organic greater yam purees is a Commodity code that sees no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code are uniformly general-purpose food procurement for institutional food service — weekly food orders for state veterans homes, bulk canned goods for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state health and human services facilities — none of which specifically solicit organic yam purees or yam-based products. The code's narrow product scope (a single specialty vegetable puree) does not align with the broad, commodity-driven food purchasing that state and local agencies practice at scale.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities are state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Aging), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools), and county systems (Douglas County Schools), soliciting primarily through IFB, RFP, and RFQ for large consolidated food contracts spanning dozens to hundreds of line items. Activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with awards typically made to large regional or national food distributors on line-item or multi-item bases. No recent solicitation explicitly names organic yam purees or specialty vegetable purees as a required line item, making pursuit of this code impractical until institutional food service demand for the product materializes.
