UNSPSC 50452901: Frozen organic broad leaved batavian chicory

The variety of organic chicory known as organic broad leaved batavian chicory that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50452901 Frozen organic broad leaved batavian chicory is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitation record shows no direct procurement activity specifically for this product. The code nominally covers a specialized frozen vegetable product—a type of chicory used in foodservice and institutional meal planning—yet the opportunities posted under this classification focus on broad food supply contracting across produce, frozen foods, and grocery items rather than on chicory varieties specifically. The mismatch between the code's narrow product scope and the wide-ranging food-service procurement activity tagged to it suggests either metadata tagging misalignment in state and local procurement systems or that chicory procurement, if occurring, is bundled within larger produce or frozen-food line-item contracts where the specific vegetable is not itemized separately.

State and local school districts, county governments, and municipal education agencies are the primary issuing bodies active in recent food-service procurement, with solicitations from the State of Georgia, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System posting between February and May 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri school districts, with outlier activity in Texas. Representative solicitations include the Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 IFB for approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program, requiring domestic sourcing preferences and low-sodium, whole-grain, and additive-free formulations; the Douglas County School System's March 4, 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 cooperating districts with estimated spend of approximately $5.5 million annually; and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's April 23, 2026 IFB for 72 fresh produce items with delivery to 60 school sites. No procurement record in the dataset names frozen organic batavian chicory as a line item or contract deliverable.
