The variety of asparagus known as martha washington asparagus which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50481705 Martha washington asparagus purees is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and prepared vegetable products as components of broader food-service supply contracts. State and local governments do not solicit asparagus purees as standalone line items; instead, they appear as one among hundreds of line items in multi-category food procurement RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs serving school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, health and human services institutions, and state-operated centers. The issuing bodies span school districts (elementary through high schools), state departments (corrections, health and human services), and county education boards, with schools dominating the recent opportunity mix. The solicitations frame asparagus purees as preprocessed vegetable products competing alongside fresh, frozen, and canned alternatives in cafeteria and institutional food sourcing, subject to USDA grading standards, minimum shelf-life requirements, sodium content limits, and Buy American Act compliance where federal meal programs fund the purchase.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative current solicitations include Ben Hill County Schools (Fitzgerald, Georgia) issuing IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products due June 15, 2026, which encompasses multiple prepared vegetable categories; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026; and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) soliciting grocery items for the 2026-27 school year under two parallel notices due April 29, 2026, encompassing over 900 line items across multiple categories. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 supplying 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with a due date of April 27, 2026. The code sees steady but diffuse activity across multiple state and local education agencies and state institutional buyers, with no single jurisdiction or commodity specialization dominating procurement patterns.
