UNSPSC 50445105: Frozen mammoth spineless long pod okra

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

UNSPSC 50445105 Frozen mammoth spineless long pod okra is a Commodity code that represents a highly specialized frozen vegetable product, yet the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevance to the nominal classification. The opportunities posted show state and local buyers—primarily state departments of corrections, school districts, health and human services agencies, and county facilities—purchasing frozen vegetables broadly: corn, mixed assorted blends, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, stir-fry blends, and peas in industrial quantities, typically in 40,000-to-400,000-pound volumes delivered to central distribution points or school cafeterias. School nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, and correctional facilities dominate the buying base, with contracts running one to three years and emphasizing USDA compliance, FDA standards, HACCP protocols, food safety certifications, and strict temperature-control specifications. The code shows no recent solicitations for the okra variety specified in its title; instead, the tagged opportunities span mainstream frozen vegetable commodity procurement across multiple states.

Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables (S2910000017451 for corn due July 24, 2026; S2910000017439 for frozen potato products due July 24, 2026; S2910000016589 for carrots and assorted blend due April 23, 2026; S2910000016558 for green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, stir-fry, and peas due April 22, 2026), each with 5 percent Oregon-goods and 5 percent Oregon-resident-bidder preferences. Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including frozen items, due May 4, 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission released HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply state-supported living centers, with proposals due July 13, 2026. School districts across Georgia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Virginia, and Connecticut are actively bidding school nutrition food procurement: Burke County Public Schools (due May 26, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools (due June 15, 2026), Early County Board of Education (due June 8, 2026), Bulloch County Board of Education (due May 4, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (due April 23, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools (due April 27, 2026), City Schools of Decatur (due May 15, 2026), Dallas Independent School District (due April 2, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District (due April 29, 2026), and Bridgeport Board of Education (due June 30, 2026). These are ITB and RFP notices emphasizing firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2 million, and weekly or scheduled deliveries. The code itself does not drive procurement activity; mainstream frozen vegetable commodity supply does.
