UNSPSC 50472907: Canned or jarred organic salad king chicory

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

UNSPSC 50472907 Canned or jarred organic salad king chicory, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of state and local food procurement activity in the recent opportunities. The code's narrow specificity—organic chicory in preserved form—bears no relation to what state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged to this code encompass broad institutional food service procurement: canned tomatoes, mixed canned vegetables, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, shelf-stable staples, and food service supplies for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and county social services programs. The issuing bodies are state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Oregon DOC), county boards and departments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Ben Hill County Schools; Burke County Public Schools), state nutrition programs (Illinois), and local school districts. Texas dominates recent activity, with multiple HHSC solicitations for facilities statewide; Georgia and Oregon also show consistent institutional food procurement. The code as named and the work actually being procured do not align—this appears to be a miscoding or data artifact rather than an active procurement category for salad chicory specifically.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (210 line items, fresh through frozen foods and supplies, due July 13, 2026, historical annual value $1.5 million) and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better, delivery to Salem with a 5% Oregon-fabricated preference and prior comparables at $13.75 per case (due June 19, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools issued a comprehensive food bid covering four school locations across hundreds of line items with Buy American requirements and HACCP compliance (due June 15, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity when interpreted literally; state and local procurement under the nominal commodity definition appears dormant or severely miscoded across these opportunities.
