UNSPSC 50425102: Dried burgundy okra

The variety of okra known as burgundy okra that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50425102 Dried burgundy okra is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under it shows little relevant recent market signal. The recent opportunities tagged to this code actually solicit dried beans of other varieties—kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans—and broader food-service supplies for institutional meal programs rather than burgundy okra specifically. The mismatch suggests either tagging drift in the source data or minimal current procurement demand for this specific dried-vegetable commodity at the state and local level.

The few opportunities that do appear under dried-bean categories reveal the actual scope of work: Georgia Correctional Industries and the Oregon Department of Corrections both solicit dried legumes in bulk for institutional kitchen use, measured in hundreds of pounds to tens of thousands of pounds per contract, with specifications requiring triple-cleaning, USDA grading, food-safety compliance, and palletized FOB-destination delivery. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and the City of Edinburg, Texas, both solicit broader institutional food supplies including dried goods alongside fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and janitorial items to support correctional facilities and child-care meal programs. Issuing bodies are primarily state corrections departments, state procurement divisions, and municipal agencies operating food-service operations. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Georgia, Oregon, and Texas, with secondary activity in Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026 (solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027), the State of Oregon's IFB for dried black beans triple-cleaned due August 21, 2026 (S2910000017705), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 (S2910000017140), the last offering a 10% evaluation preference combining 5% for Oregon-manufactured goods and 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders.
