UNSPSC 50485106: Red velvet okra purees

The variety of okra known as red velvet okra which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485106 Red velvet okra purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect what state and local governments actually procure under this designation. The recent solicitations tagged to this code concern broad food and consumable products—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, grocery staples, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods—for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans homes, and state health services, not specialized okra purees. The code shows a categorical mismatch with its actual use in procurement.

State and local issuing bodies using this code span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Burke County Public Schools and Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and special-purpose entities (Illinois Veterans Home). The geographic spread covers Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Georgia, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with prior period historical value of $1.5 million); the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools IFB for school nutrition food products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). The code itself appears misapplied; recent activity focuses on volume commodity procurement across dozens or hundreds of line items rather than a specific pureed vegetable product.
