UNSPSC 50485100: Okra purees

The type of vegetable known as okras which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485100 Okra purees is a Class code encompassing fresh, frozen, and processed vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show that okra purees remain a minor line item within much broader consumables and food-product procurements, with okra appearing incidentally in institutional supply contracts rather than as a standalone procurement focus. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the broader food-consumables family that encompasses this code include health and human services state agencies operating supported living centers, county boards of commissioners, school nutrition programs across multiple districts, state departments of corrections, and state comptroller offices procuring on behalf of criminal justice agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for food and consumable products across state facilities; similar patterns hold for Georgia school districts and county systems and the Oregon Department of Corrections.

Recent representative opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 (due July 11, 2026) for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and a potential three-year value of $4.5 million including renewal options. A subsequent IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) targeted consumable foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 in October 2026 (due October 19, 2026) requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, sauces, and vegetables for the Department of Community Services. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issued IFB #26271 in May 2026 (due June 15, 2026) for a comprehensive school nutrition food bid with nearly 400 line items across multiple categories and delivery to four school locations. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division issued a canned-tomato bid (June 2026, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases with Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-resident bidder preferences of 5 percent. Most opportunities specify F.O.B. Destination delivery, firm fixed pricing for initial periods with adjustments permitted thereafter, three verifiable references, and compliance with applicable federal and state regulations including E-Verify, cybersecurity, debarment, and buy-American provisions where applicable.
