UNSPSC 50421604: Dried lucullus asparagus

The variety of asparagus known as lucullus asparagus that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50421604 Dried lucullus asparagus, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct solicitation activity in recent state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—dried asparagus—does not align with the actual work state and local bodies are buying under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code predominantly solicit broad food-supply contracts encompassing proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, and miscellaneous staple items for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child-care meal delivery, not dried asparagus specifically. The issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), state agencies (Georgia, Illinois), and municipalities supporting child nutrition services (City of Edinburg, Texas). No vendor has been named as an incumbent or standout repeat buyer under this specific code.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and South, with solicitations posted from Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon between late January and mid-July 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to supply multiple TDCJ warehouse locations across five Texas geographic areas (response due May 4, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens throughout Fairfax County, Virginia (response due April 27, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services' solicitation for over 900 line items of grocery items for the 2026–27 school year (response due April 29, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans in March and June 2026. These opportunities indicate that the code, as tagged in source systems, does not reflect actual procurement targeting of dried asparagus; vendors pursuing this Commodity code should verify correct code assignment with issuing bodies before investing in response preparation.
