UNSPSC 50465102: Canned or jarred burgundy okra

The variety of okra known as burgundy okra that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50465102 Canned or jarred burgundy okra, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct procurement activity in state and local government. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for burgundy okra; instead, state and local agencies tag food-service procurement opportunities with this code when they include canned or jarred vegetables as line items within broader food-supply contracts. Actual buying under this code occurs as part of larger institutional food-service buys—school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and health and human services operations—where canned vegetables appear as one of dozens or hundreds of line items. The scope is narrow and commodity-level: canned burgundy okra in specified case quantities, pack sizes, and USDA grades, priced per unit and delivered to central distribution centers or school sites on fixed or FOB-destination terms.

Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state facilities. Recent opportunities show school nutrition programs in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Burke County Public Schools, Muscogee County School District), Texas Department of Criminal Justice facilities, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission (El Paso State Supported Living Center), Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy, and Douglas County School System in Georgia repeatedly soliciting food contracts covering produce and canned-goods categories. School districts dominate the institutional food-procurement landscape, with contracts typically run July through June and sized at millions of dollars across hundreds of line items. No recent solicitations specifically reference burgundy okra as a standalone commodity requiring specialized procurement. The code's activity is incidental to larger category-level food buys, meaning vendors pursuing this commodity must position themselves within comprehensive food-distribution or grocery-supply relationships rather than standalone okra sales.
