UNSPSC 50472905: Canned or jarred organic ione limnos chicory

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

UNSPSC 50472905 Canned or jarred organic Ione Limnos chicory, Commodity tier, does not align with the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for canned or jarred chicory; instead, issuers have posted bids for broad food-service consumables including canned tomatoes, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy products, and related kitchen supplies serving institutional cafeterias, food-service programs, and state-supported facilities. The code appears to reflect a highly specialized agricultural product that state and local governments do not routinely procure, or the tagging of recent opportunities to this code is a classification mismatch.

The recent opportunities instead cluster around institutional food procurement across Texas Health and Human Services facilities, Georgia and Oregon school districts, a Georgia county senior services program, and Texas corrections and criminal justice operations. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, school districts, county purchasing offices, and state correctional authorities. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017872 for food and consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due August 25, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (quotes due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with bids due June 19, 2026 and a prior purchase at $13.75 per case, and the Texas Comptroller statewide IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026). Activity appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Given the mismatch between the code name and actual procurement scope, business development professionals should verify current classification guidance or consult with issuing offices before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
