UNSPSC 50496609: Organic white guinea yam purees

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

UNSPSC 50496609 Organic white guinea yam purees is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity tied directly to its specification. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show little actual demand for organic white guinea yam purees; instead, they reflect broad food-service solicitations covering diverse agricultural commodities and prepared foods. The State of Illinois posted a quarterly food-order RFQ for the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy (due February 24, 2026) and another for July–September 2026 (due June 26, 2026), both requesting brand-specific items or approved equivalents across multiple food categories. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide (historical value $1.5 million annually; initial term September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with two renewal options). The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026) and tomato paste (1,904 cases, due March 9, 2026). These opportunities indicate that state and local buyers procure food through category-level RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs covering broad product families—proteins, produce, prepared entrees, dairy, and staples—rather than single specialty items like organic white guinea yam purees.

Issuing bodies include state departments (Illinois, Texas HHSC, Oregon Corrections), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Schools in Georgia, Muscogee County Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Schools in Georgia), municipal school systems (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), and a regional education cooperative. The code shows activity spanning Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs and state institutional food services as primary buyers. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC IFB for supplemental food and consumables covering 210 line items (maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract for delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and multiple Georgia school district IFBs for fresh produce and comprehensive food supply. The code itself appears to be a misclassification; recent solicitations emphasize fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, and staple items rather than specialty agricultural purees, suggesting that organic white guinea yam purees, if purchased at all by state and local governments, are not a focus of current procurement activity.
