UNSPSC 50483009: Scarola verde chicory purees

The variety of chicory known as scarola verde chicory which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483009 Scarola verde chicory purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal activity in recent state and local procurement. The code's abstract product definition bears little practical relevance to the actual work being solicited under it: the fourteen recent opportunities span broad food service procurement across school districts, correctional facilities, and state health agencies, but none target scarola verde or chicory purees specifically. Instead, these solicitations cover general grocery supply, fresh produce, canned goods, and meal service components—categories that sit at higher taxonomy levels and encompass far wider product ranges than the code's narrow commodity definition suggests.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), and state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic activity clusters in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools' weekly food order RFQ (response due June 26, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable procurement for El Paso State Supported Living Center IFB (response due July 11, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Central Time, with historical spend of $1.5 million for the prior period), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (response due April 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern). The code shows no recent targeted demand for the specific product it names; firms pursuing this commodity should treat the classification as a taxonomy misalignment and focus on general food service distribution channels instead.
