UNSPSC 50432904: Dried organic green curled chicory

The variety of organic chicory known as organic green curled chicory that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50432904 Dried organic green curled chicory is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single produce item, but the recent state and local solicitation activity shows no direct purchasing of dried organic green curled chicory. The most recent opportunities in the block—a Texas school nutrition program (City of Edinburg CACFP RFP), an Illinois state food order, an Oregon Department of Corrections dried bean procurement (pinto and red beans), a Georgia state food and kitchen products RFP, and a Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB—reference general dried goods, fresh produce, and bulk food staples for institutional meal service but do not isolate or specifically solicit dried organic green curled chicory as a line item. The UNSPSC code appears to reflect a granular taxonomy entry that does not map to current state and local procurement practice in the available records; institutions sourcing dried goods do so through broader commodity categories or general fresh-produce and staple-food solicitations rather than specialized botanical variety codes.

The issuing bodies conducting the most active recent purchasing in the broader food-supply space include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham in Georgia, and Douglas County in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state procurement offices (Georgia, Illinois, and Texas), and municipal agencies (City of Edinburg). Geographic concentration of recent activity appears in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Virginia and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) covering 76+ grocery items for school delivery; Rockwood School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items RFQ (due April 29, 2026) spanning 900+ line items; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' dried pinto and red beans ITB (due March 20, 2026, later extended) for 127,500 pounds. Because the code shows no direct recent activity for dried organic green curled chicory specifically, vendors should assess whether broader food-staple and institutional produce RFPs in their target regions—particularly school district and state corrections nutrition programs—create ancillary opportunities for specialty dried-produce lines offered as part of larger supply contracts.
