UNSPSC 50431502: Dried organic catanese artichokes

The variety of organic artichokes known as organic catanese artichokes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50431502 Dried organic catanese artichokes (Commodity) shows limited recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code — kidney beans for Georgia Correctional Industries, dried black and pinto beans for Oregon state agencies, weekly food orders for Illinois IVHQ, and cafeteria food products for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice — involve dried legumes and institutional food procurement rather than dried artichokes. Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, and state food-service operations represent the issuing bodies, but the actual work being solicited under this code tag consists of bulk dried beans, proteins, and institutional meal-service supplies for state correctional facilities, educational institutions, and care programs rather than artichoke products.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicitation (S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026) requested approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a 10% Oregon-vendor preference, FOB destination to Salem, and a historical price of $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries issued RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 (due October 9, 2026) for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification-sheet formatting requirements. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF (extended to May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and produce to supply multiple warehouses across five geographic areas. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual procurement activity suggests this code category may not be the correct classification for dried artichoke procurement, or the recent state and local activity does not include artichoke purchases under this designation.
