The variety of organic artichokes known as organic midi artichokes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50491506 Organic midi artichoke purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy this code infrequently and in narrow application — the recent opportunities block shows no active solicitations for artichoke purees of any kind. The code title does not match the work actually posted under it. Recent activity tagged to this code consists of broad-scope food service and consumables procurement for institutional kitchens, cafeterias, and canteens, spanning prepared foods, frozen proteins, canned vegetables, dairy products, condiments, and food service supplies such as containers, napkins, and trays. These solicitations are issued by state health and human services agencies operating state-supported living centers and psychiatric hospitals, state corrections departments, state education agencies, county school districts, and county social services departments. The issuing bodies are diverse geographically and administratively — they include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple solicitations for state-supported living centers), the Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Illinois state procurement, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Comptroller), and the State of Georgia.

The recent solicitation activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with representation also from Oregon and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026, for consumables and prepared foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), encompassing 22 line items with estimated annual quantities from 1 to 24 cases and F.O.B. Destination delivery within seven days; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing bids on June 5, 2026, for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes graded USDA B or better, with a prior purchase in February 2026 at $13.75 per case; and Ben Hill County Schools issuing IFB #26271 on May 19, 2026, for a comprehensive food bid covering fresh produce, meat, seafood, dairy, condiments, bread, ice cream, and kitchen supplies across four school locations (response due June 15, 2026). The code shows active procurement but minimal specificity to artichoke purees; procurement professionals treating this code as a vehicle for artichoke-specific opportunities will find limited recent market activity.
