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, shows little relevant recent activity. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve broad food procurement for institutional kitchens—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and veterans homes—but the solicitations actually specify canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, cafeteria staples, and general grocery line items rather than okra products of any kind, organic or otherwise. None of the opportunities name okra purees or okra-specific products in their scope. The code's nominal scope appears misaligned with the work actually being bought in state and local procurement right now.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix across the opportunities, with individual districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia soliciting food supply contracts for child nutrition programs; state agencies including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, and Georgia state operations also appear as repeat buyers. Geographic spread is concentrated in the South and Midwest—Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Oregon see the most recent postings, with additional activity in Illinois and Virginia. Representative opportunities include the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's IFB for 72 fresh produce line items (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables solicitation across state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato procurement of 7,616 cases (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026). If pursuing opportunities under this code, verify the actual commodity specifications in each RFP before investing in proposal development, as the code taxonomy does not reflect current buying patterns.
