UNSPSC 50496867: Organic yautia purees

The type of organic vegetable known as organic yautia which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50496867 Organic yautia purees is a Commodity code that captures fresh and processed root vegetables and tubers supplied to institutional food service operations — but the code shows no recent state and local procurement activity matching its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span institutional food service procurement by state health and human services agencies, county and municipal nutrition programs, school districts, and state correctional and institutional-care systems. The issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (which has posted multiple solicitations for state supported living centers), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts including Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools, and the State of Illinois. The work being solicited encompasses broad consumable food and supply categories — canned vegetables, proteins, dairy products, frozen specialty items, condiments, and food service supplies — typically bundled as comprehensive annual or quarterly food service contracts rather than specialty-vegetable-specific line items. The ten recent opportunities do not include any solicitation for yautia purees or related specialty root vegetables; instead, they reflect standardized commodity procurement for institutional dining across dozens or hundreds of line items per solicitation.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional activity in Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items, response due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's informal written quote PE77023NONST2027000000782 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (35 line items, quotes due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, bids due June 19, 2026). School nutrition procurement represents a significant segment, with Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) each soliciting nearly 400 line items of fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable foods under separate IFBs for the 2026–2027 school year. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement IFB 304T-26-300CF encompasses approximately 382 line items of cafeteria foods across five geographic distribution areas. None of these opportunities includes yautia purees as a line item or product category; the code appears misaligned with actual state and local procurement under it.
