UNSPSC 50423614: Dried witloof zoom endives

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

UNSPSC 50423614 Dried witloof zoom endives, a Commodity code, shows limited direct market activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally covers a single specialty produce item — dried chicory-family leafy greens — yet recent opportunities tagged with this code reveal a significant mismatch: state and local buyers are instead procuring broad-based food supply, fresh produce, and grocery items for institutional meal programs, schools, corrections facilities, and child nutrition services. None of the solicitations in the recent opportunities block explicitly request dried witloof or chicory endives; instead they span fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods for school districts, state corrections departments, and municipal child nutrition programs across multiple states.

School districts and state agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) soliciting multi-line-item grocery and produce contracts; the State of Illinois, State of Georgia, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Texas Comptroller) procuring food supplies and beans. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Missouri, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (response due April 27, 2026) covering 76+ items for 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for dried pinto and red beans (response due June 19, 2026) for 42,500 pounds with a 10% Oregon preference; Rockwood R-VI School District's over-900-line-item grocery IFB (response due April 29, 2026); and the City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP RFP (response due August 4, 2026) for food and nonfood supplies serving approximately 400 children daily with a local-vendor preference under Texas law. The code does not reflect material procurement demand for the commodity as named.
