UNSPSC 50461501: Canned or jarred brittany artichokes

The variety of artichokes known as brittany artichokes that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50461501 Canned or jarred Brittany artichokes, a Commodity code, describes specialty preserved vegetable products that appear rarely in state and local procurement activity; the recent-opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for this specific item, though canned vegetables and preserved foods are bundled into broader food-service contracts across school districts, correctional facilities, and state health agencies.

School nutrition programs and state institutional food services dominate the issuing-body mix, with the Douglas County School System (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) appearing as repeat institutional buyers, alongside Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy. These jurisdictions procure food supplies through annual IFBs and RFPs, typically with response dates in April through June for school-year contracts commencing July 1. The activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Virginia) and Midwest (Missouri, Illinois), with secondary activity in Texas and Oregon, reflecting the geographic spread of school districts and state institutions. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products including canned goods to serve the El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical monthly value of $1.5 million, Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) covering multiple food categories with canned vegetables specified, and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016089 for canned tomato paste (posted February 20, 2026, due March 9, 2026) seeking 1,904 cases. Canned or jarred Brittany artichokes are not named in any posted solicitation; the code appears to be a misclassification or a niche item absorbed into larger commodity groups under institutional food-service contracts where pricing is typically firm and fixed for 12-month terms with quarterly or semi-annual price-adjustment provisions tied to market indices or consumer price benchmarks.
