UNSPSC 50432907: Dried organic salad king chicory

The variety of organic chicory known as organic salad king chicory that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50432907 Dried organic salad king chicory, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual food procurement activity currently solicited by state and local governments. The recent opportunities in the dataset show no relevant purchasing under this code; instead, buyers are procuring general-purpose dried beans (pinto and red varieties for institutional food service), fresh produce, grocery staples, and cafeteria food products across multiple categories. The code's narrow specification for a single dried salad green does not match the scope of work being bought, which encompasses institutional meal programs, school nutrition services, corrections facility food service, and child care food programs.

State and local governments issuing food-service procurement under related commodity codes include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), municipal child care programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and county school systems across Georgia. Recent activity spans Texas (Edinburg, Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth region), Georgia (multiple school districts), Virginia (Fairfax), Missouri (Rockwood), Oregon (Salem), and Illinois. Representative recent procurements include the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 ITB for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (response deadline March 20, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (response deadline May 4, 2026 extended to May 4, 2026), the City of Edinburg's July 2026 RFP for CACFP meal program food and nonfood items (response deadline August 4, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 IFB for Master Grocery K-12 supplies to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (response deadline April 27, 2026). This code shows little or no current demand and represents a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and active state and local procurement practice.
