UNSPSC 50432902: Dried organic en cornet de bordeaux chicory

The variety of organic chicory known as organic en cornet de bordeaux chicory that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50432902 Dried organic en cornet de bordeaux chicory (Commodity) does not match the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this code. Recent opportunities show no solicitations for the chicory product named in the code; instead, state and local buyers are soliciting dried beans across multiple varieties—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans—for institutional meal programs and correctional food service. The scope of work under recent postings centers on bulk dried legumes for high-volume institutional cooking, typically specified to USDA grading standards with triple-cleaning requirements and defect thresholds, delivered palletized and FOB destination to distribution centers or state agencies. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Georgia Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state procurement offices acting on behalf of institutional users, and municipal governments managing child and adult care food programs. The work involves competitive sealed bidding with firm, all-inclusive pricing that incorporates freight and delivery charges.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia, Oregon, and Texas, with additional solicitations from Illinois and Texas municipalities. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 bid for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (IFB S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026) with a 10 percent combined Oregon-preference evaluation adder; Georgia Correctional Industries' October 2026 RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 invitation for bid covering 382 food line items including dried beans among proteins, grains, and staples across five geographic warehouse areas (IFB 304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026); and the City of Edinburg, Texas's August 2026 RFP for CACFP meal program supplies including food products, beverages, and paper goods for 400 children daily (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026). The mismatch between the code name and recent procurement activity suggests the code may be misapplied or underused for its stated commodity.
