UNSPSC 50483004: Green curled chicory purees

The variety of chicory known as green curled chicory which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483004 Green curled chicory purees is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within fresh produce procurement, though recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show minimal relevant activity. The code nominally describes a specific vegetable puree product, but the recent solicitations posted under it—a Texas Health and Human Services Commission consumables bid (HHS0018082), a Gwinnett County food items quote request (PE77023NONST2027000000782), a Texas HHS El Paso State Supported Living Center food procurement (HHS0017449), an Oregon Department of Corrections canned-tomatoes bid (S2910000017145), a Ben Hill County Schools food bid (PE61000NONST2027000000006), and others—cover broad institutional food service categories including prepared foods, canned goods, frozen proteins, dairy products, and food-service supplies rather than green curled chicory purees specifically. State and local buyers issuing under this code include state health and human services departments, state departments of corrections, county social-services and education authorities, and school districts; these entities source food through institutional food-service procurement rather than specialty produce. The geographic spread spans Texas (multiple HHS and TDCJ solicitations), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Schools, State of Georgia), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Illinois (state procurement).

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026 at 10:30 a.m.) for consumables and food-service supplies at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and supplies with delivery within seven days of order; Gwinnett County's informal written quote IWQ 140229 (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables for senior services; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m.). The code shows little activity directly aligned with green curled chicory purees; state and local governments procuring under this taxonomy appear to be sourcing broad institutional food-service supplies rather than specialty vegetable purees.
