UNSPSC 50471509: Canned or jarred organic romanesco artichokes

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

UNSPSC 50471509 Canned or jarred organic romanesco artichokes is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable preserved vegetables, though recent state and local solicitations show broader food-service procurement patterns where canned and jarred produce sit alongside dozens of other staple items rather than as standalone line items. State and local governments buy canned vegetables through institutional food-service contracts serving state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and county senior services. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services commissions (Texas HHS), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and state-level food service operations (State of Illinois). Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple fiscal-year food and consumables solicitations posted in 2026.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with activity also in Illinois. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026), where sodium content cannot exceed 240 mg per 100 grams and delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem was required within 30 days of order issuance; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually; and Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ 140229 requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables, with quotes due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. and delivery required within 72 hours. Canned vegetables appear in these solicitations as components of larger food-service bundles rather than as specialty organic items; recent opportunities do not show procurement specifically tagged to organic romanesco artichokes.
