UNSPSC 50422902: Dried en cornet de bordeaux chicory

The variety of chicory known as en cornet de bordeaux chicory that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50422902 Dried en cornet de bordeaux chicory, a Commodity code, shows no recent state or local procurement activity matching its nominal scope. The source records fourteen recent solicitations tagged under this code or related dried-goods categories across Texas, Illinois, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, but none of them procure chicory—dried or fresh. Instead, the tagged opportunities predominantly solicit fresh produce (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, eggs), dried legumes (pinto and red beans), cafeteria and meal-service staples (proteins, grains, dairy, condiments), and master grocery contracts for school districts and correctional facilities. The mismatch between the code's specific commodity (dried chicory root) and the actual purchasing activity documented in these opportunities suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that dried chicory procurement, if it occurs, falls below the posting threshold of recent public solicitations.

The fourteen opportunities originate from school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI and Muscogee County in Missouri and Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County and Douglas County in Georgia, and others), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Comptroller/TDCJ, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), city governments (City of Edinburg, Texas), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative in Georgia). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Virginia, and Missouri, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. Representative solicitations include the City of Edinburg's CACFP meal program RFP (due August 4, 2026) for beverages, proteins, produce, and janitorial supplies serving 400 children; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (due March 20, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) covering 76+ grocery items across 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery-items solicitation (due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items for child nutrition services. No state or local procurement activity under this code specifically targets dried chicory, suggesting the commodity either does not drive state and local purchasing or is procured through channels not reflected in recent public solicitations.
