UNSPSC 50422901: Dried broad leaved batavian chicory

The variety of chicory known as broad leaved batavian chicory that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50422901 Dried broad leaved batavian chicory is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct solicitation activity under its specific taxonomy identifier; recent state and local procurement records show no opportunities explicitly purchasing this item. The code nominally names a specialty salad green varietal, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code span general grocery procurement for school districts, correctional facilities, and municipal food programs—dried beans, fresh produce, cafeteria staples, and broad-based meal-service supply rather than dried chicory specifically. State and local issuing bodies do purchase food products through commodity codes, but activity under 50422901 does not reflect targeted procurement for dried broad leaved batavian chicory.

The source records fourteen recent opportunities across Texas, Illinois, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia dating from January through July 2026, but none name dried chicory or similar specialty greens as a line item or solicitation focus. Oregon Department of Corrections procured dried pinto and red beans (March and June 2026, ITB/IFB format); Texas Comptroller and Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments (May 2026, IFB); Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District, and Douglas County School System all solicited fresh produce and grocery items (February through April 2026, primarily IFB/RFP format with response dates between March and May 2026); the City of Edinburg, Texas issued an RFP for CACFP meal-program supplies (July 2026, due August 4); Illinois State government solicited weekly food orders (June 2026, bids due June 26); and Georgia issued separate requests for fresh produce and general food supplies (April and May 2026). If dried chicory is purchased under this code at all, it represents a vanishingly small fraction of state and local food procurement activity, and vendors pursuing this commodity would find no current solicitation pipeline to target.
