UNSPSC 50471512: Canned or jarred organic violetta di chioggia artichokes

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

UNSPSC 50471512, Canned or jarred organic violetta di chioggia artichokes, is a Commodity code. State and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal recent specificity—the UNSPSC designation itself is granular (a single organic artichoke variety), but the recent solicitations tagged with this code in fact solicit broad consumable food categories spanning proteins, vegetables, dairy, condiments, and kitchen supplies for institutional food service operations. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement signals either that the code is applied as a parent classifier for general food consumables, or that recent buyers have mistagged their foodservice and supplies solicitations. Issuing bodies soliciting under this broad food-consumables band include Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission for supported living centers and state hospitals), Georgia counties and school districts (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller's office. The issuing-body mix skews toward state health and human services agencies managing large residential facilities, school nutrition programs, and correctional foodservice operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with delivery required within seven days of order; Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including peanut butter, canned proteins, and vegetables (response due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case as of the February 2026 incumbent price (bids due June 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid covering fresh produce, meat, dairy, and condiments across four schools for fiscal year 2026–27 (bids due June 15, 2026). Contracts typically run one to two years with renewal options, require F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight included, mandate three vendor references and company qualifications statements, and often include Buy American Act compliance and HACCP plan requirements for school and health-care operations.
