UNSPSC 50491600: Organic asparagus purees

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

UNSPSC 50491600 Organic asparagus purees (Class) does not reflect current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code encompass broad food procurement across school nutrition programs, state institutional facilities, and correctional systems—spanning fresh produce, canned vegetables, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods—rather than the specialized commodity of organic asparagus purees. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope and the actual purchasing reflects either systematic miscoding in state procurement systems or the code's marginal relevance to active commodity sourcing.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia), state institutional agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home), and purchasing cooperatives serving multi-district consortia (Douglas County School System and the GEC Buying Cooperative across 30 Georgia districts). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, with the most recent opportunities posted between February and June 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) seeking food and consumable products with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually; the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomatoes ITB (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for 7,616 cases with documented prior pricing at $13.75 per case; and the Ben Hill County Schools food bid IFB (PE61000NONST2027000000006, due June 15, 2026) covering fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and cafeteria supplies across four school locations. None of these opportunities specifically target organic asparagus purees, and the code's utility for business development purposes is limited unless your firm supplies broad-based institutional food service rather than specialty produce items.
