UNSPSC 50425100: Dried okras

The type of vegetable known as okras that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50425100 Dried okras is a Class code that nominally names a single commodity, but recent state and local activity under this code shows little alignment with dried okra procurement — instead, the tagged opportunities reflect broad food supply, produce delivery, and school nutrition services across multiple product categories. The actual work solicited under this code spans child and adult care food programs, school nutrition meal supply, correctional facility food provisioning, and fresh produce contracts, encompassing proteins, dairy, grains, vegetables, fruits, and related meal-service items rather than dried okra as a discrete line item. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state procurement offices, school districts (including large systems like Fairfax County Public Schools and Rockwood R-VI in Missouri), county school systems, and municipal child nutrition programs. The TDCJ through the Texas Comptroller, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Illinois state procurement office, the Georgia Department of Administrative Services, and multiple Georgia school districts (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham) appear as repeat buyers in recent solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, and Missouri, with Texas and Georgia showing the heaviest posting volume. Representative solicitations include the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for TDCJ cafeteria food products (382 line items, proteins through condiments, May 4, 2026, response deadline extended to May 4, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00016233 for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (due March 20, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (responses due April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitation for over 900 grocery line items (due April 29, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts (due March 4, 2026, estimated $4.4 million Area One spend, $1.1 million Area Two spend). School nutrition programs and government food service operations dominate the opportunity mix; the code does not reflect active procurement of dried okra as a standalone commodity.
