UNSPSC 50441507: Frozen purple globe artichokes

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

UNSPSC 50441507 Frozen purple globe artichokes, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity among state and local procurement bodies. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations matching the code's nominal scope—the posted records instead document purchases of frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen assorted vegetables, fresh produce, and comprehensive grocery contracts spanning multiple product categories. State and local agencies are buying frozen produce under this code family, but the specific artichoke commodity does not appear in any of the recent-opportunities list.

The issuing-body mix across the broader frozen-produce and grocery category spans state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia, State of New Jersey, State of Illinois), counties (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; Douglas County, Georgia; Bulloch County, Georgia; Early County, Georgia; Burke County, Georgia), cities and school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Dallas Independent School District, Texas; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia; City Schools of Decatur, Georgia), and transit or correctional authorities. Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, South Carolina), Texas, the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington), the Mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania, Connecticut), and the Midwest (Missouri, Illinois). Representative recent procurements include the Oregon Department of Corrections' Invitation to Bid for frozen corn (ITB S2910000017451, bids due July 24, 2026) at $0.498 per pound; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables solicitation (IFB HHS0017449, proposals due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumable products for state supported living centers with a historical contract value of $1.5 million; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, sealed bids due April 27, 2026) requiring supply and delivery of grocery items to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. Firms pursuing frozen-produce supply should monitor school nutrition and institutional food service solicitations in the Southeast and Texas, where the recent-opportunities concentration is heaviest, but note that frozen artichokes specifically do not appear in current posted activity.
