UNSPSC 50491601: Organic connover's colossal asparagus purees

The variety of organic asparagus known as organic connover's colossal asparagus which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50491601 Organic connover's colossal asparagus purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under recent state and local opportunities. The fourteen recent solicitations tagged to this code span fresh produce, canned vegetables, frozen meals, dairy products, bread, proteins, eggs, condiments, beverages, and general grocery and food service supplies for state institutions, school districts, and correctional facilities. The code name references a specific asparagus variety, but the opportunities show broad food commodity procurement across multiple categories and suppliers. State and local issuers soliciting under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia; Burke County Public Schools, Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Douglas County School System, Georgia), state agencies and departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and public institutional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple concurrent solicitations from individual districts and cooperative purchasing groups such as the GEC Buying Cooperative covering multistate or multidistrict award structures.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Missouri) and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in the Mid-Atlantic (Virginia) and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026 and an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026 with an incumbent reference price of $13.75 per case; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 supplies to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens due April 27, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million due March 4, 2026. The mismatch between the nominal code definition and the actual commodity mix suggests the code assignment may be systematic but imprecise, and vendors pursuing activity in this category should focus on the concrete recent opportunities rather than the code name alone.
