UNSPSC 50411500: Organic artichokes

The type of organic vegetable known as organic artichokes

UNSPSC 50411500 Organic artichokes is a Class code that does not see substantial recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its scope. The source contains sixteen state and local contract opportunities posted between February and May 2026, but none of them specifically solicit organic artichokes or artichoke products. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad food service procurement for school districts, state agencies, and county governments buying comprehensive fresh produce portfolios (apples, bananas, lettuce, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, berries, potatoes, onions, eggs, and other staples) to support child nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. The code name does not match the work actually being solicited in the recent opportunity stream.

The issuing bodies across the sample are predominantly school districts and boards of education—including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Salt Lake City School District (Utah), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia)—along with state procurement offices in Georgia and a regional cooperative (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Missouri, and Utah. Representative recent opportunities include the Northside Independent School District RFP for fresh produce with a May 7, 2026 response date, Hillsborough County Public Schools' Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program RFP with a March 11, 2026 deadline, and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving a thirty-district cooperative with a March 4, 2026 due date. If organic artichokes represent a viable business focus, this code's activity does not currently surface relevant procurement signals; vendors should monitor commodity codes spanning fresh produce categories more broadly rather than rely on the 50411500 classification.
