UNSPSC 50431604: Dried organic lucullus asparagus

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

UNSPSC 50431604 Dried organic lucullus asparagus (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity appearing under this code. The recent opportunities posted against this classification include kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and comprehensive cafeteria food products — none of which are asparagus or specifically organic. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the taxonomy assignment or that the code is being used as a catch-all for dried legumes and institutional food products more broadly. State and local governments buying under this code are soliciting dried beans and institutional meal components for correctional facilities, food service programs, and state agency supply chains in bulk quantities suitable for institutional cooking and storage.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered suppliers and a historical incumbent price of $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026 (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027), requiring all-inclusive pricing with delivery. The State of Oregon requested bids on triple-cleaned dried black beans due August 21, 2026 for institutional use. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 for a Child and Adult Care Food Program covering five supply categories including proteins, beverages, paper goods, and janitorial supplies serving 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and a due date of August 4, 2026. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, posted IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026. Issuing bodies include state correctional agencies, state purchasing departments, and municipal school food-service programs; no standout repeat buyers emerge from the limited recent record.
