UNSPSC 50422906: Dried riccia pancalieri chicory

The variety of chicory known as riccia pancalieri chicory that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50422906 Dried riccia pancalieri chicory is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses bulk dried legumes and pulses for institutional food service, not the specific chicory variety the code name nominally describes. State and local governments soliciting under this code buy dried beans in large quantities for correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and other institutional meal operations—typically in 50-pound increments or larger, with specifications for triple-cleaning, USDA grading standards, moisture content limits, and foreign-material thresholds. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state departments of corrections, city government food service programs operating under federal nutrition programs, and state agencies procuring for multiple institutional users. Recent opportunities show correctional facilities as the dominant buyer segment, with Georgia Correctional Industries and the Oregon Department of Corrections posting solicitations for kidney beans and pinto-and-red beans respectively in the past four months.

Recent activity concentrates in Oregon and Georgia, with additional procurement from Texas and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections is seeking approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (bids due June 19, 2026) with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered vendors and a historical incumbent price of $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries is requesting kidney beans in 880-bag increments with electronic bids due October 9, 2026 on an all-inclusive delivered basis. The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted an RFP for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service (bids due August 4, 2026) that includes dried beans and other legumes as part of a five-category food-and-supplies package serving approximately 400 children daily. The State of Oregon also solicited dried black beans, triple-cleaned, with bids due August 21, 2026. All solicitations emphasize delivery to institutional distribution centers or direct meal-service sites, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, and all-inclusive pricing with no separate freight reimbursement.
