UNSPSC 50475104: Canned or jarred organic dwarf green long pod okra

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

UNSPSC 50475104 Canned or jarred organic dwarf green long pod okra is a Commodity code that represents a single, narrowly defined produce item — organic okra in canned or jarred form — but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct relevance to the product itself. The recent opportunities tagged with this code actually span broad food service and institutional nutrition procurement, where canned vegetables of all varieties (tomatoes, green beans, mixed vegetables, and okra among many others) are line items within much larger consumables or food supply contracts rather than standalone solicitations. State and local issuing bodies purchasing under this code include state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission operating state supported living centers and state hospitals), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), county and city school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), county nutrition programs (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and state criminal justice procurement offices (Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Texas Comptroller). These jurisdictions buy canned produce as part of comprehensive food service contracts serving residential facilities, institutional dining operations, school cafeterias, senior centers, and canteen operations. The actual buying pattern shows that canned okra is one line item among hundreds in contracts that bundle proteins, grains, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted three major food and consumables solicitations since June 2026 (IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables statewide with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million; and IFB HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas, posted May 4, 2026. Georgia school districts have solicited food bids actively: Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026, opening June 8, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items under IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026 with Oregon-fabricated preference of 5 percent). Illinois posted a quarterly food order (FY-27 IVHQ, due June 26, 2026). Vendors responding to these opportunities should expect line-item bidding on unit pricing with 72-hour to seven-day delivery windows, FOB Destination freight prepaid, and compliance with USDA grades, HACCP plans, E-Verify, and debarment certifications.
