UNSPSC 50422904: Dried green curled chicory

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

UNSPSC 50422904 Dried green curled chicory, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct procurement activity in state and local markets. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting dried green curled chicory; instead, the code appears to have been applied to broader food-procurement vehicles that encompass dried vegetables and staple ingredients as part of larger meal-service contracts. State and local governments purchasing under this code are primarily school districts and state corrections departments buying packaged dried goods for institutional food service — specifically, as components of child nutrition programs, school cafeteria supply contracts, and correctional facility meal programs that source from centralized vendors rather than individual ingredient suppliers.

Recent procurement activity shows issuing bodies concentrated in Georgia school districts (Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), Texas correctional and child nutrition services (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, City of Edinburg), Oregon's Department of Corrections, Illinois state government, Missouri school districts (Rockwood R-VI), and Virginia school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools). The representative solicitations — including the City of Edinburg's CACFP Meal Program RFP (due August 4, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items IFB (due April 29, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Cafeteria Food Products IFB (due May 4, 2026) — frame dried goods as line items within comprehensive food-service bundles rather than standalone purchases. No solicitation requests dried green curled chicory by name or specification, suggesting the code assignment may reflect system classification rather than active demand for this specific product category at the state and local level.
