UNSPSC 50492906: Organic riccia pancalieri chicory purees

The variety of organic chicory known as organic riccia pancalieri chicory which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50492906 Organic riccia pancalieri chicory purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single produce item, but recent state and local solicitations do not align with this narrow specification. The code shows minimal relevant activity; posted opportunities instead reflect broad food procurement for institutional facilities — state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, county senior services, school nutrition programs, and state hospitals — where vendors supply hundreds of line items spanning fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy products, canned goods, dry staples, condiments, and food service consumables. The issuing bodies are predominantly state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois) and local school districts and county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia), with no pattern of repeat single-commodity buys under this code.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumables and supplemental food products for state-supported living centers and state hospitals — notably HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026) and HHS0016792V2 (supplemental food and consumables statewide, due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years). The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026. School districts in Georgia — Burke County Public Schools (sealed bid due June 5, 2026) and Ben Hill County Schools (IFB due June 15, 2026) — are procuring comprehensive grocery supplies. The code does not appear to track single-item or produce-specific buys; the mismatch between the nominal Commodity description and the actual institutional food-service solicitations suggests this code is either misapplied in source systems or inactive for its stated purpose.
