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

UNSPSC 50465107 Canned or jarred star of david heirloom okra (Commodity) covers preserved vegetable products state and local governments procure for institutional food service — though recent opportunities under this code show minimal activity aligned with the specific commodity name. Instead, state and local buyers are soliciting broadly for shelf-stable and prepared food items, canned vegetables, and consumable food service supplies across state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. The issuing bodies span Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple facility procurements in 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections, school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, and Illinois state agencies. Work ranges from comprehensive food-service contracts covering hundreds of line items (proteins, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, condiments, canned goods, and paper supplies) to targeted buys for specific product categories such as canned tomatoes or potatoes, with delivery to canteens, cafeterias, distribution centers, and state facilities.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Oregon, and Georgia, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission driving multiple solicitations through 2026. Representative recent activity includes the Texas HHS Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with seven-day delivery required; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections solicitation for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, with 5 percent state preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-resident bidders). Ben Hill County Schools issued IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition food products across four locations (due June 15, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller's office solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026). Pricing is typically FOB Destination with delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order, and most contracts include compliance requirements for Buy American provisions, E-Verify, debarment certifications, and general liability insurance thresholds of $500,000 to $1 million. The code shows active procurement but no entry specifically matching heirloom okra products in the available opportunities.
