UNSPSC 50441504: Frozen green globe artichokes

The variety of artichokes known as green globe artichokes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50441504 Frozen green globe artichokes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement record shows no solicitations actually buying frozen green globe artichokes. Instead, the tagged opportunities span frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, fresh produce, and comprehensive grocery procurement across school districts, correctional facilities, and state health agencies—none of which are artichokes. The code appears to be a classification placeholder that does not reflect current buying activity, making a meaningful market analysis impossible from the available solicitation data.

The sourcing bodies issuing under codes tagged in this dataset range widely: state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Department of Transportation, Illinois, Georgia, New Jersey), county governments (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; Bulloch County Schools, Georgia; Burke County Schools, Georgia), city and school district procurement offices (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Fairfax County and Decatur schools, Virginia; Rockwood schools, Missouri; Dallas ISD; Savannah-Chatham schools, Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Frozen vegetable procurement dominates the recent record, particularly from the Oregon Department of Corrections, which issued multiple ITBs in spring and summer 2026 for frozen corn, potatoes, carrots, and assorted vegetable blends with response dates in late April, June, and July 2026. School nutrition programs represent the second major buyer category, with RFPs and IFBs from districts across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Texas for annual or quarterly food supply contracts. Correctional facilities and institutional food service at state hospitals round out the remainder. No recent opportunities specifically name frozen green globe artichokes as a line item or procurement target.
