UNSPSC 50412903: Organic green curled ruffee chicory

The variety of organic chicory known as organic en cornet de bordeaux chicory

UNSPSC 50412903 Organic green curled ruffee chicory, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity explicitly tied to this specific produce item. The recent opportunities in the dataset are solicitations for broad fresh produce procurement by school districts and state agencies, which typically include chicory and leafy greens as line items within larger vegetable assortments rather than as standalone commodity buys. The code's narrow specificity—a single variety of chicory—does not align with how state and local food service procurement is actually structured: school nutrition programs and institutional food service buyers tender RFPs and IFBs for multiple produce categories at once, with vendors competing on bundled produce portfolios. Chicory appears occasionally as one line item among 60 to 72 produce offerings in district solicitations, but issuing bodies do not segregate purchases by individual leafy-green varieties into separate procurement actions.

School districts and state purchasing offices in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida have posted multiple fresh produce solicitations since February 2026—including efforts by Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Austin Independent School District (Austin, Texas), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia cooperative), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri)—but none of these solicitations isolates organic green curled ruffee chicory as a distinct procurement line. Vendors pursuing institutional produce supply in state and local markets should focus on broader Family or Class codes covering general produce procurement rather than this granular Commodity code, which does not reflect actual buying patterns in the K–12 nutrition or state food service sectors.
