UNSPSC 50475102: Canned or jarred organic burgundy okra

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

UNSPSC 50475102 Canned or jarred organic burgundy okra is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables, specifically organic burgundy okra, though state and local procurement offices rarely solicit this code in isolation. Instead, okra appears as one line item within broader food-supply RFPs and IFBs serving institutional cafeterias, food-service operations at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and social-service programs. The issuing-body mix spans state health and human services agencies, county school districts, county and city departments of community services, and specialized state agencies such as corrections and criminal justice. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for consumable foods and supplemental food products to serve state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide. State departments in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, along with county school nutrition programs in Georgia and local school districts across multiple states, constitute the primary solicitation sources. The scope of work is nearly always bundled — a single RFP or IFB typically requests dozens to hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, frozen items, canned vegetables (including okra variants), condiments, and food-service supplies, with vendors expected to bid on the majority of line items and serve multiple delivery locations within a geographic region or statewide network.

Recent activity shows consistent demand from institutional food services. The Texas HHS Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 (due October 23) for consumable foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, covering 22 line items including prepared foods and food-service supplies with delivery within seven days of order receipt. In the same window, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners released IWQ 140229 on October 13, 2026 (due October 19) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products, including canned vegetables, for the Department of Community Services; delivery required within 72 hours to Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Earlier in the cycle, the Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (a closely related commodity) on June 5, 2026 (due June 19) at $13.75 per case from the prior February purchase, reflecting typical unit-cost expectations for canned produce. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each released comprehensive school-nutrition food bids in May and June 2026 encompassing hundreds of line items with multiple delivery locations. The geographic concentration tilts toward Texas (HHS and TDCJ multiple procurements), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, State of Georgia), and Oregon (ODOC). Vendors responding to these codes should expect large-volume institutional buyers, firm delivery timelines (often seven to 72 hours), FOB Destination pricing with freight included, and extensive compliance and insurance documentation requirements.
