UNSPSC 50485104, Dwarf green long pod okra purees, is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses broad shelf-stable and fresh food procurement for state institutions—not okra purees specifically. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code are actually buying consumable foods for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, state hospitals, school nutrition programs, and county social-services operations. The scope includes proteins (chicken, beef, fish), frozen vegetables and specialty entrees, dairy products, grains, canned goods, fresh produce, condiments, baking supplies, and food-service consumables such as containers, napkins, and gloves. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, departments of corrections, school districts, and county boards of commissioners. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple IFBs for state-supported living centers and statewide hospital food supply; Georgia school districts and the Oregon Department of Corrections also show recent activity.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables, due July 13, 2026) with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and a maximum three-year potential of $4.5 million, and IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026 at 10:30 a.m., 22 line items). The Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia requested bids for school nutrition food (due June 15, 2026, with delivery to four schools); Burke County Public Schools in Georgia sought nearly 400 line items for five schools (due June 5, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.). The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m.), with a prior purchase price of $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.). Institutional food procurement under this code typically requires F.O.B. Destination delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order, three vendor references, compliance with Buy American Act provisions for school districts, liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1 million, and HACCP or food-safety plan documentation.
