UNSPSC 50455104: Frozen organic dwarf green long pod okra

The variety of organic okra known as organic dwarf green long pod okra that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50455104 Frozen organic dwarf green long pod okra is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable and perishable food products for institutional food service operations, including school lunch programs, senior services, and departmental food supply. Recent solicitations show this code applies to a broad range of food commodities — canned proteins, vegetables, dairy, grains, and fresh or frozen produce — rather than the narrowly named okra product alone. Issuing bodies include county governments, state procurement offices, and school district boards of education. The mix reflects institutional food service demand across multiple tiers of government, with school districts and county departments driving the volume of recent activity.

Georgia dominates the recent activity, with three opportunities posted between May and October 2026: Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables, proteins, and grains for the Department of Community Services; the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) with scope details in the attached solicitation document; and Early County Board of Education released a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, including domestic-sourced produce, whole-grain bread meeting USDA 2024 standards, and Grade A pasteurized milk with strict temperature and shelf-life requirements. Delivery windows are tight across all three, with Gwinnett County requiring delivery within 72 hours of order when possible and Early County specifying Monday-through-Friday 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. delivery windows. Awards are made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and vendors typically must provide three references, maintain liability insurance, and comply with E-Verify and debarment verification requirements.
