UNSPSC 50483008: Sanda chicory purees

The variety of chicory known as sanda chicory which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483008 Sanda chicory purees (Commodity) does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to it show institutional food service procurement—school lunch programs, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and senior services—spanning hundreds of line items across fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, produce, canned goods, and food service supplies. None of the solicitations reference chicory purees or similar specialty botanical products. The issuing bodies are diverse: state health and human services departments in Texas, state departments of corrections in Oregon, county boards of commissioners and school districts in Georgia, and state comptroller offices managing procurement on behalf of correctional departments. No standout repeat buyer emerges from a single recent opportunity, though Texas HHSC and Texas TDCJ procurement divisions appear across multiple records, and Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and Gwinnett County are active in the space.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods and supplies at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for shelf-stable food items (response due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive food and supplies to five school locations (bids due June 15, 2026). The code shows no recent procurement for chicory purees or related specialty ingredients and appears mistagged to institutional food service generics.
