UNSPSC 50423609: Dried rossa di treviso endives

The variety of endives known as rossa di treviso endives that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423609 Dried rossa di treviso endives (Commodity) does not reflect the food procurement activity currently being solicited by state and local government bodies. The code's nominal scope—a specific Italian chicory variety—diverges sharply from the broad, commodity-level food supply contracts state agencies, school districts, and correctional systems are actively procuring. Recent solicitations under this code designation span fresh produce (apples, bananas, carrots, leafy greens, citrus), dried staple goods (pinto and red beans), eggs, dairy, proteins, grains, beverages, and prepared entrees for institutional meal programs serving correctional facilities, schools, and child nutrition services. This suggests either a misclassification in the source data or minimal procurement activity aligned with the code's literal product definition.

State and local governments issuing food supply contracts include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Douglas County, and Savannah-Chatham County systems in Georgia and Missouri), state departments of corrections (Oregon and Texas), state procurement offices (Georgia and Illinois), and municipal child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional solicitations in Virginia and Missouri. Representative opportunities include 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), the Muscogee County School District's fresh produce ITB (due April 27, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' dried pinto and red beans ITB (due June 19, 2026). Estimated annual contract values in recent school-district solicitations range from $1.1 million to $9 million, with multi-year terms and firm fixed pricing required. Vendors pursuing this code should verify that their product offering matches the actual scope of each opportunity rather than relying on the code designation alone.
