UNSPSC 50492900: Organic chicory purees

The type of organic vegetable known as organic chicories which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50492900 Organic chicory purees is a Class code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity recorded under this designation. The opportunities posted against this code span broad food and consumables procurement—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, grocery staples, dairy, proteins, and prepared entrees—for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans' homes, and state health and human services agencies. None of the recent solicitations explicitly mention chicory purees or products fitting the narrow commodity scope of this code; the postings instead reflect generalized food service and institutional procurement where chicory purees would represent, at most, a minor line item within much larger food categories. This code appears to have been applied as a catch-all classification rather than as a precise match to the products actually being solicited.

State and local buyers posting under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County Schools), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), and correctional and veterans' facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with the most recent postings from June 2026 backward through January 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB, response due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (ITB, response due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' sealed-bid food procurement covering fresh produce, meat, dairy, and prepared items across four school locations (IFB, response due June 15, 2026). The code's application to chicory purees specifically carries minimal decision relevance for business development; vendors should verify actual commodity requirements in solicitation specifications rather than relying on this code classification.
