UNSPSC 50431503: Dried organic french artichokes

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

UNSPSC 50431503 Dried organic french artichokes, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not substantially reflect purchases of dried organic french artichokes; instead, they span broad food service provisioning across school districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs where dried artichokes, if procured at all, would represent a small line item within much larger grocery or food supply contracts. The City of Edinburg, Texas, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and multiple Georgia and Missouri school districts are the issuing bodies represented in the recent posting activity, but none of these solicitations identify artichoke products as a distinct focus or material scope element.

State and local buyers in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Oregon dominate recent postings across the food service and nutrition space, but their procurement emphasis falls on mainstream staples—dried beans (pinto and red), fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees—rather than specialty produce items like dried organic artichokes. The most concrete recent opportunities include the Texas Comptroller's IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across TDCJ warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution serving 32,500 students with an estimated annual spend of approximately $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026). None of these solicitations name dried organic artichokes as a line item or identified requirement. Pursuit of this code should be informed by the reality that dried organic french artichokes remain a specialty or niche product in state and local food service procurement, with opportunities likely arising only as secondary items within broad-based grocery or specialty-produce RFPs rather than as standalone solicitations.
