UNSPSC 50605107 Frozen Non GMO star of david heirloom okra is a Commodity code that does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this category. The recent solicitations tagged to this code span shelf-stable pantry staples, school lunch program ingredients, and food-service supplies — peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables, meats, poultry, dairy, bread, fluid milk, and non-food disposables — rather than the specialized frozen okra variety the code nominally names. The issuing bodies are county purchasing offices, state agency procurement divisions, and school district food-service departments; the representative opportunities are a Gwinnett County informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; a Georgia state bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and an Early County Board of Education line-by-line bid for 300+ food items and non-food supplies to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program due June 8, 2026.

The recent activity is concentrated in Georgia, with opportunities from Gwinnett County, Early County Schools, and the State of Georgia spanning May through October 2026. The Gwinnett County opportunity requires delivery within 72 hours of order receipt to a single site in Lawrenceville; the Early County Schools bid spans three school sites with deliveries 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, firm pricing for 15 days post-award, and allowance for piggybacking by other school districts on identical terms. The Early County solicitation emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain products, low-sodium formulations, and items without added sugars or artificial additives, with bread vendors required to supply additional commonly marketed items at regular wholesale rates and milk vendors required to maintain HACCP plans and provide food recall procedures. This code shows limited relevance to current procurement activity; business development professionals should verify correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
