UNSPSC 50422903: Dried green curled ruffee chicory

The variety of chicory known as green curled ruffee chicory that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50422903 Dried green curled ruffee chicory is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct solicitation activity under this specific nomenclature in state and local procurement. Recent state and local opportunities do not include any direct purchases of dried green curled ruffee chicory; the code appears misaligned with actual buying patterns reflected in recent postings. The most recent opportunities across the dataset show state and local issuing bodies procuring broader food supply categories—fresh produce, dried legumes, grocery staples, and food service fulfillment—but none specifically target this particular chicory variety.

State and local procurement under broader food-supply codes reflects activity from school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County school systems in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state nutrition and food service divisions (Texas, Georgia, Illinois), and municipal programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). The geographic footprint spans Texas, Virginia, Missouri, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Edinburg's RFP 2026017 for CACFP meal program supplies (due August 4, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026), and Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for dried pinto beans (due March 20, 2026). The Oregon ODOC and Texas TDCJ procurements demonstrate that state corrections systems do purchase dried legumes and staple food items in volume, but neither recent ODOC solicitation nor the broader grocery and produce RFPs document purchases of dried chicory varieties. If your firm supplies specialty greens, dried vegetables, or culinary ingredients to institutional food service, monitor broader dried-goods and produce categories rather than this specific commodity code, which shows no active state or local demand signals in the recent record.
