UNSPSC 50481700: Asparagus purees

The type of vegetable known as asparagus which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50481700 Asparagus purees, a Class code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block returns no solicitations specifically for asparagus purees or products matching the code's narrow scope. State and local governments soliciting under this code are purchasing general food service products—canned and fresh vegetables, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods—to support institutional cafeterias, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and health and human services centers, but asparagus purees do not appear in the representative recent solicitations. The mix of issuing bodies pursuing food procurement spans state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county school systems (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Muscogee County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), and regional cooperative purchasing (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts across Georgia). School nutrition programs and state institutional food service dominate the recent activity, with multiple weekly and quarterly food orders, bulk produce and grocery procurement, and multi-year supply contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri, with the most recent and highest-dollar opportunities in Georgia and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response deadline July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million annually), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (response deadline June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive food procurement (response deadline June 15, 2026, multiple food categories across four schools), and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (estimated annual spend approximately $5.5 million across 30 districts, response deadline March 4, 2026). The code does not support current business development activity targeting asparagus purees specifically; vendors in processed vegetable products should monitor broader vegetable and produce categories under related UNSPSC families instead.
