UNSPSC 50491605: Organic martha washington asparagus purees

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

UNSPSC 50491605 Organic martha washington asparagus purees is a Commodity code that in practice does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show no solicitations for organic asparagus purees or any asparagus products at all. Instead, the opportunities span broad food-service procurement — shelf-stable staples (canned tomatoes, peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta), fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, bakery items, meal components, and food-service supplies — sourced by state health and human services agencies, county and city systems, corrections departments, school districts, and other institutional food services. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to general food-service opportunities that do not match its narrow commodity description. Without evidence of actual demand for organic martha washington asparagus purees in state and local procurement, the code signals no active market opportunity.

Recent solicitations tagged to this code originate from Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple state-supported living centers and state hospitals), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts, Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, and the State of Georgia. Activity appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with one Illinois posting. Representative opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026) covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies; Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (due June 19, 2026, with previous award at $13.75 per case). The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity scope and the broad institutional food-service work actually being solicited suggests a classification error in the source data.
