UNSPSC 50431603: Dried organic giant mammoth asparagus

The variety of organic asparagus known as organic giant mammoth asparagus that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50431603 Dried organic giant mammoth asparagus, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The source contains thirteen recent opportunities tagged under this code, but none solicits dried organic asparagus or any asparagus product; instead, the opportunities span broad food supply contracts for K–12 schools, corrections facilities, child nutrition programs, and fresh produce distribution. The mismatch between the code name and the actual goods being procured suggests either a data-tagging error in the underlying procurement system or that this code is being misapplied as a catch-all for general food commodity purchasing. The code does not appear to represent a meaningful procurement category for business development purposes at this time.

State and local buyers in the dataset are schools (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), corrections systems (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), cities and counties (City of Edinburg, Texas), and a state agency (State of Illinois). The recent opportunities primarily solicit staple grocery items—proteins, grains, dairy, canned goods, fresh produce, and eggs—with volumes and durations typical of institutional food service contracts. Representative opportunities include the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division's IFB for cafeteria food products to TDCJ warehouses across five geographic areas (responses due May 4, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K–12 IFB covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with weekly deliveries (bids due April 27, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution to 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students with estimated annual spend of approximately nine million dollars (proposals due February 18, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon. Without verified procurement intent matching the code's stated commodity, pursuit of opportunities under this code requires confirming the actual product specifications in each solicitation document.
