UNSPSC 50411503: Organic french artichokes

The variety of organic artichokes known as organic french artichokes

UNSPSC 50411503 Organic french artichokes is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, though recent opportunities under this code reflect a broader spectrum of produce and food-service sourcing than artichokes alone. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, state food-service procurement offices, and school districts purchasing produce as part of institutional food service and meal-program operations. The work itself spans concession-stand food service at regional parks, healthcare facility meal provisioning, statewide institutional food supply, and National School Lunch Program support across multiple schools. Food vendors typically must meet health and food-safety compliance, maintain cold-chain integrity, deliver on specified schedules, and provide products meeting quality and freshness standards.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, with proposals due March 6, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. EST and a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points; the three-year contract with two one-year renewal options requires the vendor to provide diverse food and beverage options across multiple park venues. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026. The State of Georgia released a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 response date. Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026, covering approximately 300 food items (meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains) and 60 non-food and paper supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with domestic sourcing and whole-grain preferences emphasized and contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.
