UNSPSC 50461505: Canned or jarred gros camus de bretagne artichokes

The variety of artichokes known as gros camus de bretagne artichokes that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50461505 Canned or jarred gros camus de bretagne artichokes, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable prepared vegetables that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service—correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. The recent opportunities in the dataset do not include any specific solicitations for this variety of artichoke; the code appears in a taxonomy that encompasses a much broader range of canned vegetables. State and local buying across the broader canned-vegetable family includes Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurements for state supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections purchases of canned tomatoes, and Georgia and Texas school district and county food-service bids that specify dozens of canned and jarred vegetables as line items within large, consolidated food solicitations. Issuing bodies are predominantly state health and corrections agencies, county schools, and county social-services departments that aggregate food procurement into single IFB or IWQ notices covering hundreds of line items at once. The scope of work under the code family reflects institutional volume purchasing—cases ranging from 1 to 24 units per item annually for smaller state facilities to truck-load quantities (7,616 cases for a single Oregon procurement) for larger systems.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent posting dates. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs since May 2026 (HHS0016792V2, HHS0017449, HHS0017872, HHS0018082) for supplemental and consumable foods serving state hospitals and supported living centers, with historical values as high as $4.5 million over three years and prior-period volumes of $1.5 million. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026 under IFB S2910000017145, with the previous purchase priced at $13.75 per case. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes in October 2026 for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables; Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia both posted school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026 spanning hundreds of line items with weekly or monthly delivery requirements. No recent solicitations specifically name canned gros camus de bretagne artichokes; the code sees activity only as one line item within much larger consolidated food-service bids where artichokes may or may not be specified in any given year.
