UNSPSC 50452906: Frozen organic riccia pancalieri chicory

The variety of organic chicory known as organic riccia pancalieri chicory that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50452906 Frozen organic riccia pancalieri chicory, a Commodity code, represents a niche fresh-produce category that state and local governments procure sporadically as part of larger food-service and institutional-meal contracts. The recent solicitation activity under this code shows that state and local buyers are sourcing shelf-stable and refrigerated food products for senior services, school nutrition programs, and institutional meal provision rather than frozen specialty chicory variants specifically. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state food-procurement programs (State of Georgia), and school district nutrition departments (Early County Board of Education). Solicitations typically bundle this commodity within broader food-acquisition RFQs and ITBs that emphasize domestic sourcing, compliance with federal nutrition standards such as the USDA School Lunch Program requirements, temperature-controlled delivery logistics, and vendor certification for food safety and recall procedures.

Recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ 140229 informal written quote solicitation for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, vegetables) due October 19, 2026, with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026; the State of Georgia's May 2026 bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and Early County Board of Education's May 2026 line-by-line bid for 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, due June 8, 2026, with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Activity is concentrated in Georgia; the code shows no recent solicitations outside that state in the available records. Vendors competing under this code face firm pricing expectations, Buy American and E-Verify compliance requirements, HACCP certification, general liability insurance minimums (typically $500,000), and performance standards around temperature control, stock rotation, and food-recall documentation.
