UNSPSC 50431506: Dried organic midi artichokes

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

UNSPSC 50431506 Dried organic midi artichokes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it involve dried beans—kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans—rather than artichokes. State and local governments buy bulk dried legumes for institutional food service under this code, including correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state agencies. Work solicited includes procurement of triple-cleaned, USDA-graded dried beans in quantities ranging from hundreds of bags to tens of thousands of pounds, with specifications for moisture content, foreign-material thresholds, shelf life, palletization, and FDA or HACCP compliance. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state procurement offices, cities operating child and adult care food programs, and state agencies supplying institutional meal services.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a bid in June 2026 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, FOB destination to Salem, Oregon, with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered suppliers and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries requested bids for kidney beans in October 2026 (due October 9) in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children under RFP 2026-017 (due August 4, 2026), including dried beans as part of a five-category supply package. The State of Oregon issued a bid for triple-cleaned dried black beans in August 2026 (due August 21) to institutional users, and the State of Illinois posted a quarterly food order solicitation in June 2026. Responses are typically submitted electronically, with delivery required on fixed schedules or within defined timeframes; procurement offices enforce strict specification compliance and prohibit shortcuts such as checkmarks or ditto marks on specification sheets.
