UNSPSC 50435100: Dried organic okras

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

UNSPSC 50435100 Dried organic okras, a Class code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity recently posted under this taxonomy code. The source contains thirteen recent opportunities spanning Texas, Illinois, Oregon, Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri, but only two — both from the Oregon Department of Corrections — are solicitations for dried beans that bear any substantive relationship to dried vegetable commodities; the remainder address fresh produce, cafeteria food products, grocery supply, and school nutrition services that fall outside the scope of dried okras specifically. The ODOC solicitations (S2910000016233 in March 2026 and S2910000017140 in June 2026) requested approximately 127,500 pounds and 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans respectively, both issued as ITBs with response deadlines of March 20, 2026, and June 19, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope — dried organic okras — and the actual procurement activity logged suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement databases or that dried okra demand remains minimal or uncaptured at the state and local level.

State and local procurement under this code shows no recent activity specifically for dried okras. If pursuing this commodity, monitor Oregon Department of Corrections for pattern procurement of dried legumes, and track school nutrition programs, state correctional facilities, and child nutrition service programs in Texas, Georgia, and Virginia for potential openings. Current activity concentrates in fresh produce, bulk protein, and general grocery supply rather than preserved vegetable specialties, indicating limited near-term opportunity in this specific dried commodity category.
