UNSPSC 50471501: Canned or jarred organic brittany artichokes

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

UNSPSC 50471501 Canned or jarred organic Brittany artichokes (Commodity) does not match the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The available recent solicitations show no demand for canned or jarred artichokes, organic or otherwise, despite the code appearing in procurement records. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code cover broad food service procurement for state institutions, school districts, and corrections facilities—encompassing proteins, vegetables, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies across hundreds of line items per solicitation. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a gap between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement practice under it. None of the representative recent opportunities name artichokes as a line item or component of scope.

The issuing bodies are predominantly state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with scattered activity in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026) covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins, vegetables, and condiments (due October 19, 2026); and Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (due June 19, 2026, with previous award at $13.75 per case). If pursuing this code, verify with issuing bodies whether organic artichokes appear on their actual line-item lists, as the current tag appears unreliable for sourcing decision-making.
