UNSPSC 50412905: Organic ione limnos chicory

The variety of organic chicory known as organic organic ione limnos chicory

UNSPSC 50412905 Organic ione limnos chicory, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code solicitate fresh produce, eggs, and general grocery items for school nutrition programs and state operations, not the specialized organic chicory product the code nominally describes. The mismatch between code assignment and actual buying intent suggests either a classification error in the issuing systems or a placeholder use of the code for broader produce procurement.

State and local education agencies—school districts and county boards of education—dominate the activity, with school nutrition programs driving the majority of solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (IFB, June 8, 2026 response) covering approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food supplies for the National School Lunch Program; Northside Independent School District's fresh produce RFP (RFP 2026-048, May 7, 2026) serving 83 elementary, 21 middle, and 13 high schools across the San Antonio area; Bulloch County School District's locally grown produce RFP (IFP, May 4, 2026) requiring sourcing within 200 miles; and Hillsborough County Public Schools' USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program contract (RFP 26039RFQDST, March 11, 2026) with an estimated annual budget of $600,000. Georgia school systems and districts show the heaviest concentration of recent activity, with additional opportunities posted by school districts in Missouri, Texas, and Florida. The State of Georgia has also posted procurement for fresh produce (IFB #4, May 27, 2026) and general food supplies (May 15, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope does not match the actual goods being procured, business development professionals should verify code assignment with the issuing authority before pursuing opportunities under this classification.
