UNSPSC 50491602: Organic franklin asparagus purees

The variety of organic asparagus known as organic franklin asparagus which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50491602 Organic franklin asparagus purees, a Commodity code, shows negligible recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity present in the record—an Illinois Veterans Home quarterly food order RFQ from February 2026—makes no mention of asparagus purees or organic produce; it lists only conventional proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and standard vegetables. The code's nominal scope does not align with the buying patterns evident in state and local solicitations over the past five months.

State and local procurement of food products under related codes focuses overwhelmingly on broad grocery supply, fresh produce, and protein contracts that serve schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services institutions across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois. Recent RFPs and IFBs from these jurisdictions—including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS0017449 for food and consumables at state supported living centers), the Oregon Department of Corrections (tomato paste and canned tomato ITBs), Fairfax County Public Schools (Master Grocery K-12), and Ben Hill County Schools (comprehensive school nutrition food bid)—enumerate dozens of line items per solicitation but do not isolate specialized organic vegetable purees as discrete bid items. When fresh produce appears as a procurement category, it flows through RFPs and ITBs structured as either volume-indexed commodity buys with USDA market-price tie-ins (as in the Muscogee County and Douglas County school produce RFPs) or fixed-price main-line distributor contracts. Organic asparagus purees—a niche, value-added processed vegetable product—do not surface in any of the recent opportunities. This code warrants close monitoring only if your firm has existing relationships with state institutional food service buyers; absent evidence of regular line-item demand or category-level procurement activity, pursuit is not recommended at this time.
