UNSPSC 50425103: Dried clemson spineless okra

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

UNSPSC 50425103 Dried clemson spineless okra (Commodity) does not match the work actually being solicited under this code in state and local procurement right now. The recent opportunities tagged to this code center on dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans—and broader cafeteria and institutional food-service supplies, not okra. The Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) requests kidney beans in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing; the Oregon Department of Corrections solicitation (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) requests approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, triple-cleaned, palletized to Salem at $0.493 per pound historical pricing; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB (304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) encompasses 382 food line items for multiple warehouse locations across five geographic areas. The City of Edinburg, Texas, RFP (2026-017, due August 4, 2026) solicits food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily, including proteins, produce, beverages, paper goods, and janitorial supplies with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. These opportunities suggest the code is functioning as a catch-all for dried-goods and institutional food procurement rather than as a category specific to okra.

State agencies dominate recent activity: the Georgia Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Illinois Department of Corrections appear multiple times alongside the City of Edinburg and the State of Oregon. Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois show the strongest concentration of recent solicitations. No opportunities in this block are actually requesting dried clemson spineless okra, indicating either that the code assignment is erroneous, that okra procurement under this code is inactive at present, or that state and local buyers are not currently sourcing this item through formal competitive solicitations. The mismatch between code name and actual procurement activity suggests limited relevance for vendors specializing in dried okra unless institutional food-service buyers in targeted states can be identified through direct outreach outside the formal solicitation channel.
