UNSPSC 50411602: Organic franklin asparagus

The variety of organic asparagus known as organic franklin asparagus

UNSPSC 50411602 Organic franklin asparagus, a Commodity-tier code, represents fresh produce supply to state and local food-service operations, though recent solicitations in the block show produce purchases as part of broader food and supply aggregations rather than asparagus-specific line items. State and local governments buy fresh vegetables through this family when issuing food-service contracts for school lunch programs, county parks concession operations, healthcare facilities, and state institutional food service. Recent opportunities show produce solicited as part of larger food-and-supply packages or as individual line items within multi-category RFQs and ITNs — not standalone asparagus bids. School districts and county parks departments are the primary repeat buyers in the recent block, with Early County Board of Education and Collier County Parks and Recreation Division both active in the past six months.

The geographic spread is limited in the recent-opportunity block to Georgia and Florida. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line food bid (IFB) due June 8, 2026, encompassing approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools; Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division (Florida) solicited food services including concessions via Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) due March 6, 2025 for North Collier Regional Park. Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida) sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026 for the 2026–2027 contract period. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (IFB) due June 22, 2026, with attached specifications not summarized in the source block. The recent activity does not isolate asparagus procurement specifically; produce opportunities typically bundle multiple vegetables under aggregate food-service or lunch-program contracts.
