UNSPSC 50432910: Dried organic tres fine maraichere chicory

The variety of organic chicory known as organic tres fine maraichere chicory that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50432910, Dried organic tres fine maraichere chicory, is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect a substantial mismatch: the source shows state and local governments soliciting broad food service supplies—cafeteria products, school nutrition groceries, fresh produce, dried beans, and meal program items—rather than the specialized chicory product the code nominally describes. Of the fourteen posted opportunities, only two explicitly name dried legumes (pinto and red beans from Oregon Department of Corrections and pinto beans alone in a separate ODOC posting), while the remainder cover general food service categories including fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, beverages, and prepared entrees for school districts, state correctional systems, and municipal child nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, and State of Georgia), and municipal programs (City of Edinburg, Texas, supporting a Child and Adult Care Food Program).

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois, with no specific concentration in any single state. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 ITB for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (bid due March 20, 2026) and a June 2026 ITB for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (bid due June 19, 2026), both requiring FOB destination delivery to Salem, Oregon with triple-cleaned U.S. No. 2 or better grade standards; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across 382 line items spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and condiments to five geographic warehouse areas (response extended to May 4, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 Master Grocery K-12 term contract (bid due April 27, 2026) covering weekly deliveries to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Rockwood R-VI School District's April 2026 solicitation for over 900 grocery line items for the 2026–27 school year (bids due April 29, 2026); and Douglas County School System's February 2026 RFP for food supply and distribution services to 32 schools supporting approximately 32,000 meals daily with an estimated annual spend of approximately $9 million (proposals due February 18, 2026). The code itself does not align well with actual procurement activity in the recent opportunities block, signaling that vendors pursuing dried organic chicory would find limited relevant state and local demand under this classification.
