UNSPSC 50491510: Organic spinoso sardo artichoke purees

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

UNSPSC 50491510, Organic spinoso sardo artichoke purees, is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable food items for institutional food service—though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly calling for artichoke purees or even specialty produce purees. Instead, state and local agencies soliciting under or near this code are buying broad-based consumable foods and kitchen supplies: canned and frozen proteins, vegetables, dairy, grains, condiments, bread, paper goods, and disposable food service equipment for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHS, Georgia), state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections), independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), county authorities (Gwinnett County), and state-level procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple facilities. The work ranges from single-facility canteen supply (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, ~22 line items, annual value under six figures) to statewide food service networks (Texas TDCJ, ~382 line items across five distribution points; Texas HHS supplemental program, 210 line items serving hospitals and supported living centers statewide, $4.5 million over three years).

Activity clusters in Texas (multiple HHS and TDCJ solicitations), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, state-level food procurements), and Oregon (Department of Corrections canned tomatoes bid, 7,616 cases). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026, 22 line items of prepared foods and supplies, F.O.B. Destination with seven-day delivery); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products for senior services (due October 19, 2026, 35 line items, lowest responsive and responsible bidder award, December 7 receipt deadline); and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for school food products across four locations, July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 (due June 15, 2026, Buy American Act compliance required, quarterly pricing adjustments permitted). The code shows no recent activity aligned specifically with artichoke purees; the opportunities reflect mainstream institutional food service procurement in which specialty produce components would be embedded, if at all, within broader vendor catalogs.
