UNSPSC 50435105: Dried organic mammoth spineless long pod okra

The variety of organic okra known as organic mammoth spineless long pod okra that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50435105 Dried organic mammoth spineless long pod okra is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not involve okra or any dried vegetable product at all. Instead, the code shows activity across broad food procurement for institutional meal services — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care operations — where state and local buyers are sourcing fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and miscellaneous grocery staples to support daily feeding operations. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the upstream data or dormant activity under this specific commodity line; the recent opportunities are representative of general institutional food supply, not the dried okra the code nominally describes.

Recent procurement activity spans multiple states and issuing bodies. School districts dominate the opportunity set: Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited Master Grocery K-12 on IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for weekly delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) issued CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027 (due April 29, 2026) for over 900 line items across snacks, fruits, vegetables, proteins, and prepared entrees; and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) solicited fresh produce under Bid 26-34 (due April 23, 2026). Specialized institutional buyers also appear: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026 and March 20, 2026) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Statewide Procurement Division issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five warehouse locations (extended to May 4, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited CACFP meal program supplies on RFP 2026-017 (due August 4, 2026), and the State of Illinois and Georgia each posted quarterly or annual food supply RFQs. Geographic concentration is evident in Georgia and Texas, with significant activity also in Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon; responses must accommodate firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, detailed nutritional labeling, and delivery frequencies ranging from daily to weekly.
