UNSPSC 50442907: Frozen salad king chicory

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

UNSPSC 50442907 Frozen salad king chicory is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within the broader frozen vegetable category. However, the recent state and local opportunities in the dataset show virtually no demand for frozen king chicory specifically. The sources contain no solicitations matching the code's nominal scope; instead, the tagged opportunities overwhelmingly request frozen corn, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen potatoes (french fries and wedges), frozen carrots, and frozen assorted blends—along with hundreds of grocery and food-service line items spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact in state and local procurement systems rather than an active commodity classification.

State and local food procurement is concentrated among correctional facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Montgomery County Correctional Facility), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Early County Schools, Douglas County Schools, Dallas ISD), and state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS Commission, Illinois Department of Corrections). Recent opportunities posted between January and July 2026 across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia reflect firm, fixed pricing; FOB destination delivery; insurance requirements typically at $1 million general liability per occurrence; Buy American compliance; HACCP plans; and contract terms of one year with renewal options. Frozen vegetables appear across ITB and RFP notices—Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple ITBs for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026), frozen potatoes (120,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026), and frozen assorted vegetables (200,000 to 400,000 pounds total, due April 22–23, 2026); Texas TDCJ procured frozen specialty entrees and vegetable items as part of broader cafeteria food bids. No recent opportunity specifically requests frozen king chicory, and no vendor names or award values are disclosed in the dataset.
