UNSPSC 50491513: Organic violetto di toscana artichoke purees

The variety of organic artichokes known as organic violetto di toscana artichokes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50491513 Organic violetto di toscana artichoke purees (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under this code. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for artichoke purees or other specialty produce; instead, the code appears misfiled to cover broad food service procurements that include shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, grains, and consumable kitchen supplies. State and local jurisdictions buying under this code are primarily state health and human services agencies operating state-supported living centers and state hospitals, state prison systems, county social services departments, and school districts. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and several Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) are active issuers. The work spans IFBs and informal quotes requesting annual or quarterly food service fulfillment with quantities ranging from dozens of cases for small facilities to truckload volumes for prison and hospital systems.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) for 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center; Gwinnett County's informal written quote IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables for senior services; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with FOB Destination delivery to the central distribution center in Salem; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive food and kitchen products across four school locations. Contracts typically run one year with optional renewals; delivery requirements commonly specify 7 to 30 days from order receipt, F.O.B. Destination with freight prepaid, and compliance with USDA grades, FDA/USDA standards, and Buy American provisions for school nutrition programs. The code shows no recent demand for artichoke purees specifically and merits review for reclassification accuracy against actual procurement scope.
