UNSPSC 50481511: Vert de laon artichoke purees

The variety of artichokes known as vert de laon artichokes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50481511 Vert de laon artichoke purees is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within produce procurement. Recent state and local opportunities show little activity directly tied to this specific vegetable puree—the source contains no recent solicitations explicitly requesting artichoke purees. The posting block instead documents broad food procurement across school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies buying canned vegetables, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees as part of larger, multi-category food service contracts. State and local jurisdictions acquiring under codes nominally aligned with this commodity typically do so as one line item among dozens or hundreds in institutional food service RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs covering quarterly or annual meal supply. The issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home, State of Georgia), and county school districts across the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. No single vendor or repeat buyer dominates; procurement is fragmented across dozens of independent school districts and state departments.

The geographic spread centers on Georgia (multiple school districts), Texas (HHSC and TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), with secondary activity in Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools) and Illinois (Veterans Home). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products covering NIGP classes 380, 385, 390, and 393 across multiple state facilities with an estimated $1.5 million historical annual value; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000016405 (posted March 23, 2026) for canned tomatoes and related produce; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 supplying 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens; and Rockwood R-VI School District's dual solicitations for grocery items and Net Off Invoice products (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026) covering approximately 1,100 line items across produce, proteins, and specialty foods. These solicitations treat vegetable purees and similar processed produce as incidental line items within much broader food-service frameworks, indicating limited standalone procurement demand for the specific commodity at the state and local level.
