UNSPSC 50471507: Canned or jarred organic purple globe artichokes

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

UNSPSC 50471507 Canned or jarred organic purple globe artichokes (Commodity) describes a narrow shelf-stable produce category that state and local government procurement offices rarely solicit independently. The recent opportunities block contains no dedicated solicitations for canned organic artichokes; instead, this Commodity code appears in larger food-supply RFPs and IFBs where individual line items span hundreds of SKUs across multiple produce, protein, and supply categories. State agencies, county governments, school districts, and corrections departments buy canned artichokes as incidental items within comprehensive food-service contracts rather than as standalone purchases. The scope of work under this code, when it surfaces in active procurements, is bulk supply of shelf-stable canned or jarred artichokes meeting USDA or FDA grade standards, typically in standardized institutional pack sizes (cases or bulk containers), for cafeteria, kitchen, and canteen operations at correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and school nutrition programs.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting food products that may include this Commodity code include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (repeated buyer across multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables to state supported living centers and hospitals), the Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and county nutrition programs (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners). Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent IFB and RFQ activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016792V2 (Supplemental Food & Consumables, posted May 19, 2026, due March 19, 2026) soliciting 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated food products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide; Burke County Public Schools' sealed-bid procurement (PE55037NONST2027000000007, posted May 11, 2026, due June 5, 2026) for school nutrition food across five schools with nearly 400 line items; and the Texas TDCJ IFB 304T26300CF (Cafeteria Food Products, posted May 4, 2026, due May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 line items across five geographic warehouse locations. Canned organic artichokes, if specified, would be bundled within these broader food-service contracts rather than purchased as a standalone item; the Commodity code itself does not support decision-relevant concentration or frequency data for this specific product.
