UNSPSC 50412909: Organic scarola verde chicory

The variety of organic chicory known as organic scarola verde chicory

UNSPSC 50412909 Organic scarola verde chicory is a Commodity-tier code with little recent activity specifically matched to this narrow produce line item. State and local school nutrition programs and some state agencies issue solicitations tagged with fresh produce codes, but the recent opportunities block shows no procurement explicitly calling for organic scarola verde chicory or this specific chicory variety. Instead, recent school district and state solicitations request broad fresh produce categories—apples, bananas, leafy greens (including unspecified lettuce varieties), broccoli, carrots, and other staples—at scale and on firm annual contracts, but do not single out specialty chicory items by botanical type or organic certification tier.

Recent Georgia school districts dominate the activity: Glynn County, Liberty County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, and the state itself have issued IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce in March and April 2026, all seeking weekly or periodic delivery of mixed commodity-list produce to school nutrition programs serving National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements. Texas districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, McAllen ISD, and Austin ISD) also posted produce solicitations in February and March 2026, with delivery dates typically June through August 2026. Missouri and Florida school districts similarly solicited produce bundles. All these opportunities require USDA compliance, HACCP certification, Buy American provisions, and firm pricing; none identify organic or specialty chicory demand. If your firm supplies organic scarola verde chicory to institutional food service, the code's recent posting volume does not signal active state or local procurement demand for this particular item at this time. Watch broader fresh produce opportunities to detect any future narrowing toward specialty greens or organic sourcing within school nutrition contracts.
