UNSPSC 50495007: Organic star of david heirloom okra purees

The type of organic vegetable known as organic star of david heirloom okra which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50495007 Organic star of david heirloom okra purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes specialty vegetable purees, but recent state and local solicitations show little activity aligned with that specific product. The recent opportunities block contains ten postings, none of which reference organic okra purees or specialty heirloom vegetable products of that kind. Instead, the opportunities under this code span institutional food procurement for state facilities, school districts, and corrections departments, encompassing bulk shelf-stable foods, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, produce, condiments, canned goods, and food service supplies—the routine consumables needed to operate large-scale feeding operations. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Georgia Department of Corrections), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state facilities (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, El Paso State Supported Living Center). Work is being solicited through formal competitive notices: IFBs dominate the mix, with a few informal written quotes (IWQs) for smaller purchases. The actual scope under this code appears to be general institutional food supply, not specialty organic vegetables.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with secondary posting from Oregon (canned tomatoes and potatoes), Illinois (weekly food orders), and a multi-state federal framework (TDCJ procurement across five Texas regions). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017872 for consumables and food service supplies at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due August 25, 2026, covering 20 line items of prepared foods and supplies), the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026, at nine dollars per case prior award), Ben Hill County Schools food bid for multiple product categories across four school locations (sealed bids due June 15, 2026), and the Texas TDCJ IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (bids due May 4, 2026 after extension via Addendum No. 2). The code shows substantial activity but with a fundamental mismatch between the nominal commodity description (organic heirloom okra purees) and the actual procurement pattern (mainstream institutional food service).
