UNSPSC 50432908: Dried organic sanda chicory

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

UNSPSC 50432908 Dried organic sanda chicory, a Commodity code, nominally refers to a narrow product line, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it actually comprise a much broader range of dried beans and legumes for institutional food service and correctional and educational meal programs. State and local governments are procuring dried kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and mixed dried legumes for bulk institutional cooking, cafeteria supply, and compliance with USDA and CACFP nutritional standards. Issuing bodies include state correctional agencies (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices (Oregon, Illinois, Georgia), and municipal education and nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas, serving the Child and Adult Care Food Program). The code reflects actual procurement that is neither narrowly organic nor limited to chicory—vendor classifications, mismatch between the nominal code name and the work being bought, and the breadth of recent solicitations signal that this UNSPSC category may be misapplied or overly broad in state and local databases.

Activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Georgia Correctional Industries issued RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for 880-bag increments of kidney beans due October 9, 2026; the State of Oregon ODOC requested approximately 42,500 pounds of triple-cleaned dried pinto and red beans, with bids due June 19, 2026, and a historical incumbent price of $0.493 per pound; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products (including beans and legumes) across five geographic warehouse locations, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for CACFP meal service to 400 children under RFP 2026-017 (proposals due August 11, 2026), applying a 5 percent local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Oregon applies a combined 10 percent evaluation preference (5 percent for goods fabricated or processed entirely in Oregon and 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders). Pricing is all-inclusive with no separate freight reimbursement; delivery windows are typically daily or weekly, with FOB destination terms and palletization and shelf-life requirements standard.
