UNSPSC 50595103: Dried Non GMO clemson spineless okra

The variety of Non GMO okra known as Non GMO clemson spineless okra that has been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50595103 Dried Non GMO Clemson Spineless Okra, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's highly specialized product scope — a single dried vegetable variety with non-GMO specification — does not align with the solicitations currently posted under this classification. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect broad school nutrition, senior meal, and institutional food service procurement spanning fresh produce, complete grocery assortments, and meal delivery across multiple categories, rather than procurement of a single dried okra product line.

School districts in Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, and Virginia; county education boards; county commissioners; and state health and human services agencies are the primary issuing bodies posting food-service solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) soliciting a Master Grocery K-12 contract via IFB with response due April 27, 2026; Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) seeking commercial groceries and USDA Foods via RFP with response due February 25, 2026 and anticipated award by April 24, 2026; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) requesting fresh produce and eggs for a 30-district cooperative via RFP with response due March 4, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted a food and consumable products IFB for its El Paso State Supported Living Center with response due July 13, 2026. Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, Connecticut, and Florida, with secondary activity in Texas, Virginia, and Mississippi. Dried vegetable products, when procured, appear as line items within comprehensive grocery or produce contracts rather than as standalone commodities, and this code's actual market activity remains minimal relative to the broader fresh and processed food procurement ecosystem.
