UNSPSC 50492901: Organic broad leaved batavian chicory purees

The type of organic chicory known as organic broad leaved batavian chicory which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50492901 Organic broad leaved batavian chicory purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span a fundamentally different scope: state departments, school districts, counties, and state health agencies are soliciting broad grocery and food-service supply contracts—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, prepared entrees, condiments, and kitchen consumables—not chicory purees or any specialized botanical ingredient. The issuing bodies include the State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home quarterly food orders), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state hospitals and supported living centers), Oregon Department of Corrections (canned tomato products), multiple Georgia school districts (Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Burke County Public Schools, and Douglas County School System), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and independent authorities such as the GEC Buying Cooperative on behalf of 30 Georgia school districts. None of the recent solicitations explicitly name chicory, purees, or organic botanical products as line items.

The geographic spread of recent procurement activity is heavily concentrated in the Southeast—Georgia, Texas, and Oregon dominate the opportunity flow—with secondary activity in Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center covering NIGP food and supply categories with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually; the Ben Hill County Schools food IFB (PE61000NONST2027000000006, due June 15, 2026) spanning hundreds of line items across fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and kitchen supplies for four school locations; and the Douglas County School System's GEC Buying Cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026) serving 30 districts with estimated annual spend of $4.4 million for Area One. The code exhibits no demonstrable recent activity in organic chicory purees or comparable specialty botanical ingredients and likely reflects a data-classification mismatch rather than active procurement demand.
