UNSPSC 50431505: Dried organic gros camus de bretagne artichokes

The variety of organic artichokes known as organic gros camus de bretagne artichokes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50431505 Dried organic gros camus de bretagne artichokes is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers dried beans and bulk institutional food staples for correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agencies. The code's nominal scope—dried artichokes—does not align with the solicitations tagged to it; instead, the recent opportunities show procurement of dried kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, red beans, and broader cafeteria food products for institutional meal service. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas), state purchasing offices acting on behalf of corrections systems and child care programs, and municipal entities. The work entails meeting USDA or equivalent grading standards, compliance with food-safety regulations (FDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice), triple-cleaning or equivalent contaminant removal, and delivery in bulk quantities—typically palletized or in incremental bags—to institutional distribution centers or meal-service sites.

Activity is concentrated in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections and the State of Oregon procured approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (June 2026, bids due June 19) and dried black beans (August 2026, bids due August 21) through the OregonBuys system with Oregon-fabrication and headquarters preferences applied; the Georgia Department of Corrections requested kidney beans in 880-bag increments (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, October 9, 2026 response date); and the State of Georgia issued a broader food-supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, June 22, 2026 due date). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations (response extended to May 4, 2026), and the City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited CACFP meal-program supplies including proteins, dairy, and vegetables for approximately 400 children daily under RFP 2026-017 (August 4, 2026 response date) with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. All procurements require FOB destination delivery with freight, tariffs, and fuel surcharges included in bid pricing; certifications of product compliance and insurance are standard.
