UNSPSC 50495000: Organic okra purees

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

UNSPSC 50495000 Organic okra purees, a Class code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code are overwhelmingly broad food-service solicitations for institutional meal programs—state-run supported living centers, correctional facilities, county senior services, and school nutrition programs—spanning hundreds of line items across proteins, dairy, frozen entrees, canned vegetables, condiments, and food-service supplies. The code's nominal scope (organic okra purees) appears in none of the recent postings; the solicitations are buying consumable foods and kitchen products for bulk food service, not specialty produce purees. This mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in code assignment or a metadata artifact that does not reflect the actual goods being procured.

Issuing bodies span Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) institutional procurement, Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and the state), Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and the Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice. Texas leads in recent volume, with HHSC issuing at least four separate IFBs between May and October 2026 for state supported living centers and hospitals; representative examples include HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, IFB due October 23, 2026) and HHS0016792V2 (supplemental food and consumables statewide, bid due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years). Georgia school districts and counties filed multiple food bids in May–June 2026, including Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (bids due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections procured canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, bids due June 19, 2026) and potatoes. The geographic footprint spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with activity concentrated in Texas institutional procurement and Georgia school nutrition programs. Because the posted opportunities do not address organic okra purees or specialty produce, the code shows no relevant current activity for firms supplying that product line.
