UNSPSC 50472904: Canned or jarred organic green curled chicory

The variety of organic chicory known as organic green curled chicory that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50472904 Canned or jarred organic green curled chicory is a Commodity code that state and local governments theoretically classify under food procurement, but the recent opportunities do not reflect active buying of this specific item. The nine recent postings from Texas health and human services agencies, county and school nutrition programs, state corrections departments, and school districts soliciting food and consumable products show nearly universal focus on shelf-stable and fresh proteins, produce, dairy, grains, prepared foods, condiments, and food service supplies—with canned vegetables and canned tomatoes appearing in multiple solicitations, but no explicit mention of organic green curled chicory or chicory products. The broader code family encompasses institutional food service procurement driven by school nutrition programs, state-operated living centers and hospitals, correctional facilities, and county senior services. Issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC multiple times), state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and state-level purchasing divisions (Texas Comptroller, Illinois).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with activity levels highest in the second and third quarters of 2026. Representative current opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, prior year), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive grocery procurement across multiple food categories (due June 15, 2026). The code shows no active market for organic green curled chicory specifically; buying in this UNSPSC code tier appears mismatched to actual procurement activity, which emphasizes mainstream commodity proteins, vegetables, and staple food service items rather than specialty organic produce lines.
