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 little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific dried vegetable product, but the recent opportunities tagged under it comprise broad food service solicitations for school districts, correction departments, and municipalities that are purchasing diverse staple groceries—proteins, grains, fresh produce, dairy, and prepared entrees—rather than dried artichokes specifically. The City of Edinburg, Texas RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supplies, the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for dried pinto and red beans, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products, and school district procurements from Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County all solicit packaged and fresh food items in bulk but do not identify dried artichokes as a line item or focus area. The code classification appears to be a tagging mismatch rather than a reflection of active procurement demand for the specific commodity named.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), school districts (Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), and municipalities (City of Edinburg). Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, with response dates clustered between March and August 2026. Representative solicitations include the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for TDCJ cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026) encompassing approximately 382 line items of proteins, grains, and staples; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution (due February 18, 2026) with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately nine million dollars. This code does not appear to support a focused procurement strategy around dried artichokes or similar niche produce items.
