UNSPSC 50472908: Canned or jarred organic sanda chicory

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

UNSPSC 50472908 Canned or jarred organic sanda chicory, a Commodity code, sees sporadic activity in state and local procurement focused on food service supply for public institutions. State and local governments buy canned and jarred food products across this code, though the recent opportunities tagged with this specific code emphasize broader grocery and food service procurement rather than specialty organic items. The issuing bodies are chiefly school districts and state agencies operating institutional food service programs—nutrition departments, corrections facilities, health and human services operations, and veterans' homes—that procure food supplies through competitive bidding cycles tied to fiscal-year budget cycles (typically July-to-June or calendar year). School nutrition programs dominate the visible activity, with districts ranging from small rural systems to large urban school systems (Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI, Ben Hill County Schools) competing for suppliers alongside state-level buyers such as the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections.

Geographic concentration spans multiple regions with heavy activity in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), the Upper Midwest (Missouri, Illinois), and mid-Atlantic states (Virginia). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0017449 IFB for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with historical spend of $1.5 million annually), the Oregon Department of Corrections' S2910000016405 solicitation for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, ITB due June 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' food bid for multiple school locations (IFB, due June 15, 2026), and the Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, serving 45 schools plus distribution kitchens). Price adjustments tied to USDA indices or Consumer Price Index data are standard; most contracts run July-to-June with one to three renewal options. Buy American requirements apply across school nutrition and state-agency procurements, and vendors typically must carry $1 million to $2 million in general liability insurance with the district or agency named as additional insured.
