UNSPSC 50471500: Canned or jarred organic artichokes

The type of organic vegetable known as organic artichokes that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50471500 Canned or jarred organic artichokes is a Commodity Class code that covers specialty canned produce items—though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations tagged to this specific code. Instead, state and local buyers are actively procuring canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and fresh produce under closely related codes, indicating that canned and jarred specialty produce represents a narrow segment of broader food-supply purchasing. When organic artichokes are requested, they typically appear as line items within much larger grocery, food-service, or school-nutrition procurement vehicles rather than as standalone commodity buys.

The issuing bodies soliciting food products under related codes span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state correctional and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state veteran homes (Illinois Veterans Home), and county school systems across Georgia. School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with state prison and hospital food services representing secondary volume. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with significant activity in Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato solicitation (ITB S2910000016405, 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026, with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences of five percent each), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables RFP (IFB HHS0017449, covering 210 line items for state facilities statewide, due July 13, 2026, with prior-period value of $1.5 million), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 procurement (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with minimum three-year vendor experience required). The code itself shows no recent direct activity; prospective vendors should track broader food-supply and grocery RFPs where canned artichokes appear as component line items rather than await standalone commodity solicitations.
