UNSPSC 50415100: Organic okras

The type of organic vegetable known as organic okras

UNSPSC 50415100 Organic okras, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source records show sustained, substantial demand for fresh produce procurement by school districts, with the code's nominal scope—organic okras specifically—appearing in none of the 18 recent solicitations. Instead, state and local buyers are requesting comprehensive produce assortments (apples, bananas, lettuce, carrots, broccoli, berries, peppers, tomatoes, eggs, and seasonal items) for child nutrition and school feeding programs, with occasional references to organic or locally grown sourcing preferences rather than organic okras as a standalone line item. The mismatch suggests either broad tagging by issuing offices or a data-classification artifact; the code shows little relevant recent activity if narrowly interpreted to its nominal commodity.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with eight school systems posting solicitations since February 2026: Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Salt Lake City School District (Utah), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri). Georgia school districts represent the densest cluster of recent activity. Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's IFB for food and non-food products (due June 8, 2026), Northside Independent School District's RFP for fresh produce for child nutrition (due May 7, 2026), and a cooperative buying vehicle—the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP on behalf of 30 Georgia school districts for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026), covering approximately $5.5 million in estimated annual spending across two geographic areas. All recent solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, food safety documentation, and firm pricing for extended contract periods.
