UNSPSC 50423601: Dried brussels witloof endives

The variety of endives known as brussels witloof endives that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423601 Dried brussels witloof endives (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's definition targets a specialized vegetable product, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code solicitation—kidney beans, pinto and red beans, black beans, and broader food-supply categories for correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agencies—diverge substantially from witloof endives. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and agriculture, state purchasing offices, and municipal food programs serving institutional populations (corrections, education, child care). When dried legumes and institutional food staples are purchased in volume, state and local governments typically solicit through commodity or food-supply RFQs or IFBs with fixed specifications, all-inclusive pricing including freight and handling, and FOB destination delivery terms.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. Recent representative opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries requesting kidney beans in 880-bag increments with responses due October 9, 2026 (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027); the Oregon Department of Corrections soliciting approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation factor and responses due June 19, 2026 (RFQ S2910000017140, historical price $0.493 per pound); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procuring 382 line items of cafeteria food products including legumes via IFB 304T-26-300CF with responses due May 4, 2026. The mismatch between the code's product name and the dried-legume and mixed-food-supply nature of recent opportunities suggests either classification drift or that witloof endives are not a material commodity under this code in current state and local procurement.
