UNSPSC 50435101: Dried organic artist okra

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

UNSPSC 50435101 Dried organic artist okra, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments that do procure dried beans and legumes under related codes are buying bulk institutional food supplies for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state institutional kitchens — products sourced in large quantities (tens of thousands of pounds), delivered palletized to distribution centers or meal-service locations, and specified to USDA grade standards with triple-cleaning and food-safety certifications. The issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state departments of agriculture or food services, municipal school districts, and individual state agencies or institutional meal programs. However, the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried organic okra specifically; instead, it records solicitations for kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and mixed cafeteria food products — a mismatch suggesting this code has not seen recent state and local contracting activity matching its definition.

Geographic activity for dried legume procurement appears concentrated in the Southeast and West. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, IFB, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% in-state preference and historical pricing around $0.493 per pound; the State of Oregon issued a separate bid on dried black beans, triple-cleaned (S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026). Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including legumes and other staples across five geographic areas (304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026). The code itself shows no recent opportunities; procurement activity for dried legumes is driven by correctional, institutional, and school food services in Oregon, Georgia, and Texas.
