UNSPSC 50472902: Canned or jarred organic en cornet de bordeaux chicory

The variety of organic chicory known as organic en cornet de bordeaux chicory that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50472902 Canned or jarred organic en cornet de bordeaux chicory is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables, particularly specialty and organic varieties, though recent state and local solicitations show the code is applied broadly to general food-service procurement rather than exclusively to the specialty chicory variant that the code name specifies. State and local governments buying under this code are acquiring institutional food supplies—fresh, frozen, canned, and dry goods—for state-supported living centers, corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, and other public facility canteens. The issuing bodies include Texas state health agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of State Health Services), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office, Georgia county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County (Georgia), and the Oregon Department of Corrections. Work solicited includes dozens to hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, frozen specialty items, canned vegetables and fruits, condiments, and food-service consumables such as containers, napkins, and disposable gloves. Vendors respond to Invitations for Bid (IFB), Informal Written Quotes (IWQ), or sealed competitive bids with firm fixed unit pricing, often on an F.O.B. Destination basis with delivery required within 7 to 72 hours of order or within 30 days of purchase-order issuance. Typical contract terms run one year with renewal or extension options available.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with additional procurement in Oregon. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB on June 5, 2026 (due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case (prior purchase), with Oregon-fabricated or resident-bidder preferences at 5 percent; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide in May 2026 (IFB HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026) with a potential three-year value of up to $4.5 million across state hospitals and supported living centers; and Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) posted an IFB on May 19, 2026 (due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive school-nutrition food and supplies across four schools. More recent Texas solicitations include HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, posted June 11, 2026, prior-period value $1.5 million) and HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026). Gwinnett County posted an IWQ on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products for senior services.
