UNSPSC 50471602: Canned or jarred organic franklin asparagus

The variety of organic asparagus known as organic franklin asparagus that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50471602 Canned or jarred organic franklin asparagus, a Commodity code, does not appear in the recent state and local procurement activity reviewed. The code's specific product scope—organic canned asparagus varieties—diverges significantly from the food items actually being solicited by state and local governments under related codes in this period. Recent opportunities show procurement of broad consumable food portfolios (prepared foods, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments) and food service supplies for institutional dining, but none of the reviewed solicitations specifically named or tagged canned asparagus, organic or otherwise, as a line item or procurement target. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local sourcing.

State and local buyers acquiring food under related commodity codes are purchasing from institutional food-service vendors supplying state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services centers, and state hospitals. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, prior purchase $13.75 per case); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive food products across four schools (due June 15, 2026). Issuing bodies span Texas state agencies, Oregon corrections and purchasing, Georgia county schools and counties, Illinois state procurement, and small independent school districts in Georgia. Opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with scattered activity in Illinois. Food and consumables solicitations typically require F.O.B. Destination delivery within 7 to 30 days of order, firm fixed pricing, product compliance with USDA and FDA standards, vendor references, and liability insurance. Organic or specialty-variety produce represents a small fraction of these institutional food portfolios.
