UNSPSC 50462910: Canned or jarred tres fine maraichere chicory

The variety of chicory known as tres fine maraichere chicory that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50462910 Canned or jarred tres fine maraichere chicory is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—preserved chicory root products—bears no relation to the state and local solicitations tagged under it in the source material. Those opportunities actually solicit broad consumables and food-service categories spanning proteins, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, condiments, canned vegetables, kitchen supplies, and cafeteria staples for correctional facilities, state supported living centers, senior services programs, and school nutrition operations. The issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, state corrections and comptroller offices, county boards of commissioners and schools, city and regional school districts, and state-supported residential facilities. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and various Georgia and Texas school districts appear multiple times in the recent record.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (state HHS, TDCJ, and school districts), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Schools, and state purchasing), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026) spanning prepared foods and food-service supplies with 22 line items and annual quantities of 1 to 24 cases per item; Gwinnett County's informal written quote IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, and vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better, delivery to Salem with eight full truck loads (bids due June 19, 2026, prior award $13.75 per case); and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for food products across fresh produce, meat, seafood, dairy, condiments, bread, ice cream, and supplies to four school locations (bids due June 15, 2026). The code shows little relevance to actual procurement needs and does not support reliable opportunity identification in this category.
