UNSPSC 50445107: Frozen star of david heirloom okra

The type of vegetable known as star of david heirloom okra that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50445107 Frozen star of david heirloom okra, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific scope. The most recent opportunities tagged with this code represent institutional food service procurement for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and other public agencies—but they uniformly solicit broad shelf-stable and frozen food products (proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, condiments, and disposables) rather than the narrowly specified heirloom okra variety that defines the code.

The mismatch reflects a common state and local coding practice where procurement offices apply codes to food procurement RFPs and IFBs at the Commodity tier without precise alignment to product line. Recent institutional food service solicitations from Gwinnett County (Georgia), Montgomery County (Pennsylvania), the State of Illinois, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Early County Schools (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), the State of New Jersey Department of Human Services, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice all cast wide nets for multiple food categories and invite vendors to quote on dozens or hundreds of line items at once. None of these opportunities specifically target frozen heirloom okra or presume vendor specialization in that product. Geographic activity spans the Southeast (Georgia, South Carolina), Mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut), Midwest (Illinois), Southwest (Texas), and Northwest (Oregon), but this represents general institutional food procurement concentration rather than demand for this code's specified commodity. The absence of focused opportunities for frozen heirloom okra suggests either minimal state and local demand for the product or systematic misclassification when food procurement offices assign codes at posting.
