UNSPSC 50433608: Dried organic radice amare endives

The variety of organic endives known as organic radice amare endives that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50433608 Dried organic radice amare endives, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The thirteen most recent opportunities tagged to this code span dried beans, fresh produce, cafeteria food products, and grocery staples for school nutrition and corrections facilities—none of which represent dried organic endives or the narrow specialty vegetable category the code nominates. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code's nominal scope bears little relation to what state and local jurisdictions are actually buying under it.

The recent activity under this code reflects instead a robust market in staple food procurement for institutional meal services. School districts in Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas dominate the opportunity set, soliciting fresh produce, dried beans, and master grocery contracts for school nutrition programs through RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB vehicles. State corrections departments (Oregon and Texas) and city child care programs (Edinburg, Texas) round out the issuing bodies. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple solicitations for dried pinto and red beans at scale (42,500 to 127,500 pounds per award), with prior awards in the $0.43–$0.493 per pound range. Fairfax County Public Schools sought a master grocery K-12 contract covering 45 schools with weekly delivery (April 2026 IFB, April 27 response). Douglas County Schools issued dual RFPs for food supply and distribution (February 2026) and fresh produce and eggs (February 2026) serving 30 Georgia districts with estimated combined annual spend of $13.4 million. Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Rockwood School District (Missouri), and the Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of Texas Department of Criminal Justice have all solicited fresh produce and cafeteria food items since March 2026. The code shows no recent activity outside the institutional nutrition and corrections sectors.
