UNSPSC 50415104: Organic dwarf green long pod okra

The variety of organic okra known as organic dwarf green long pod okra

UNSPSC 50415104 Organic dwarf green long pod okra is a Commodity code that sits beneath a broader produce and vegetable family. State and local governments procuring under this code buy fresh produce for school nutrition programs, most prominently through school district food service operations. Recent solicitations show school districts treating produce categories—including leafy greens, pod vegetables, and other fresh items—as consolidated line items within larger annual food contracts rather than as item-specific buys. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and greens; Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) requested fresh produce delivery to all campuses five days weekly for the 2026–2027 school year; and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) sought specialty fruits and vegetables for its federally funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. Issuing bodies span independent school districts of varying sizes, county school systems, and occasional state agency procurement. School districts dominate the activity, with weekly or bi-weekly delivery requirements and emphasis on USDA compliance, HACCP certification, Buy American sourcing, and natural products free of artificial additives.
