UNSPSC 50445102: Frozen burgundy okra

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

UNSPSC 50445102 Frozen burgundy okra (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's name specifies a single frozen vegetable product, yet the recent opportunities in the dataset span broader frozen vegetable categories—mixed vegetables, assorted blends, carrots, corn, and French fries—along with comprehensive grocery and food service procurement across corrections facilities, school districts, and state agencies. None of the posted solicitations explicitly name burgundy okra or closely related single-item frozen vegetable procurements that would map cleanly to this code.

The recent activity instead clusters around multi-item frozen vegetable bundles and institutional food service contracting. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables (assorted blend, carrots, corn) in June and April 2026, typically requesting 40,000 to 400,000 pounds with FOB Destination delivery to Salem and Oregon preferences capped at 10 percent combined. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, Decatur City, and Rockwood R-VI) solicited frozen and fresh produce as line items within larger grocery or comprehensive food service RFPs and ITBs, with response dates ranging from April through July 2026. Institutional buyers—corrections departments, state health agencies, and school nutrition programs across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut—dominate the buyer base. Without a recent solicitation explicitly requesting burgundy okra as a discrete commodity, the code presents limited visibility into current demand or pricing signals. Business development teams should monitor state and local corrections and institutional food service RFPs for opportunities to bid frozen vegetable line items within larger procurements, but should not expect standalone burgundy okra tenders at this time.
