UNSPSC 50412901: Organic broad leaved batavian chicory

The type of organic chicory known as organic broad leaved batavian chicory

UNSPSC 50412901 Organic broad leaved batavian chicory, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code identifies a single fresh produce item—organic batavian endive or escarole—but none of the sixteen recent solicitations in the source name this product specifically or solicit it as a line item. State and local governments are actively purchasing fresh produce through school nutrition programs, farm-to-school initiatives, and institutional food service, but the procurement records show demand concentrated on commodity staples (apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli, bell peppers, onions, potatoes, grapes, strawberries, and eggs) and specialty items tailored to regional or district preference, not organic batavian chicory.

Recent produce solicitations are dominated by school districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida procuring fresh fruit and vegetable contracts through RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs with response dates ranging from March to June 2026. Representative opportunities include the Northside Independent School District (NISD) in San Antonio, Texas requesting fresh produce for child nutrition under RFP 2026-048 (due May 7, 2026); the Bulloch County School District in Georgia seeking locally-grown produce within 200 miles under an IFP (due May 4, 2026); and the Douglas County School System in Georgia issuing RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026). Produce vendors compete primarily on price (typically 30–50% of evaluation weight), product quality, availability, delivery reliability, HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, and local or regional sourcing preference. The code shows no recent activity and does not align with current state and local procurement patterns for fresh produce.
