UNSPSC 50491603: Organic giant mammoth asparagus purees

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

UNSPSC 50491603 Organic giant mammoth asparagus purees (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract name does not match the actual goods and services state and local bodies are soliciting under this taxonomy marker. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service — canned tomatoes, frozen proteins, fresh produce, dairy products, condiments, bread, and consumable kitchen supplies — but do not include asparagus purees of any kind, organic or otherwise. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and recent actual buying suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging system or that the code is used as a catch-all for miscellaneous food commodities that do not fit narrower UNSPSC classifications.

Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC for state supported living centers), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), public school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), state procurement divisions (Illinois and Georgia), and independent school nutrition programs across multiple states. Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with lighter recent activity in Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026, with historical annual value of $1.5 million); the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026, with the prior purchase priced at $13.75 per case); Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools IFB for comprehensive school nutrition products across four school sites (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026, with Buy American requirements and quarterly price adjustments tied to USDA or CPI indices).
