UNSPSC 50422900: Dried chicories

The type of vegetable known as chicories that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50422900 Dried chicories, a Class code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers dried chicory products, but the recent opportunities posted under or near this code encompass broad food service procurement — including cafeteria staples, school nutrition supplies, produce, beans, and institutional meal programs — none of which align with dried chicory as a standalone commodity.

The opportunities in the dataset center on school nutrition programs, corrections facility food service, and municipal child care meal programs across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia. The City of Edinburg, Texas (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) is sourcing beverages, paper goods, food products, and janitorial supplies for a CACFP meal program serving 400 children daily; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026) procured approximately 382 line items of cafeteria foods across multiple warehouse locations; the Oregon Department of Corrections (ITBs S2910000016233 and S2910000017140, due March 20 and June 19, 2026 respectively) solicited dried pinto and red beans in bulk; Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) sought a master grocery contract for K-12 supply to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (due April 29, 2026) bid over 900 line items of grocery items for child nutrition services. These solicitations reveal that state and local procurement under codes tagged to this family emphasizes high-volume institutional food service and school meal compliance with nutrition standards and delivery scheduling, not specialty dried ingredients. The code shows little decision-relevant activity for vendors specializing in dried chicory products.
