UNSPSC 50451511: Frozen organic vert de laon artichokes

The variety of organic artichokes known as organic vert de laon artichokes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50451511 Frozen organic vert de laon artichokes (Commodity) describes a specific frozen produce item, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect solicitations for this product. The three most recent opportunities posted under or near this classification cover broad food procurement by Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education — all addressing meal programs, food service, and general food supply through line-item or category-based bidding rather than sourcing frozen artichokes as a named commodity. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent buying patterns suggests that state and local agencies are either tagging generic food procurement with this specific commodity code or the code is not actively used for standalone artichoke purchases in current procurements.

Issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code span county government, state departments, and school districts. Gwinnett County (Georgia) posted an IWQ on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, emphasizing canned proteins, vegetables, and pasta rather than frozen produce. The State of Georgia posted a broad food and kitchen products solicitation May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) with full scope in an attached PDF. Early County Board of Education posted an FY27 food bid May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items and 60+ non-food products for school lunch and breakfast programs, including vegetables, dairy, and grains with domestic sourcing and nutrition specification preferences. Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia; no other states appear in the available records. The code shows limited recent targeted use for this specific frozen vegetable commodity in state and local procurement.
