UNSPSC 50451604: Frozen organic lucullus asparagus

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

UNSPSC 50451604 Frozen organic lucullus asparagus is a Commodity code that maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains nine recent school district and state agency food-service solicitations, none of which target frozen asparagus or frozen specialty vegetables as a distinct line item. The opportunities instead encompass broad fresh-produce buys (apples, bananas, leafy greens, berries, root vegetables), fresh eggs, frozen entrees and prepared foods, snacks, dairy products, condiments, spices, and ice cream across school nutrition programs and state food operations. School districts appear as the primary issuing bodies—Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System—with secondary activity from state procurement offices in Georgia. The code's narrow focus on a single frozen-vegetable commodity does not align with how state and local jurisdictions actually solicit frozen produce; they instead bundle multiple frozen items into line-item or lot-based bids within larger food-supply contracts.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia (three state-level solicitations and four school districts) and Missouri and Texas (Rockwood R-VI and Dallas ISD respectively). Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food-and-nutrition bid due June 8, 2026 (RFQ format, approximately 300+ food items), the Douglas County School System's RFP for a primary food distributor serving approximately 32,000 daily meals with estimated annual spend near $9 million due February 18, 2026, and the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026 (with a virtual pre-bid on April 29, 2026). Vendors in these procurements must meet HACCP, Buy American, E-Verify, and food-safety compliance, carry $1 million general liability insurance, and deliver to school sites on fixed schedules. The code shows no specialized activity in frozen asparagus procurement; firms pursuing frozen-vegetable supply should monitor broader produce and protein bids where this item might appear as a line within larger category solicitations.
