UNSPSC 50492907: Organic salad king chicory purees

The variety of organic chicory known as organic salad king chicory which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50492907 Organic salad king chicory purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for organic chicory purees or related specialty vegetable products. Instead, the tagged opportunities span general food service procurement — weekly food orders for state veterans homes, cafeteria supplies for correctional facilities, fresh produce and canned goods for school districts, and supplemental food products for state-supported living centers. None of these solicitations reference chicory, organic purees, or the specific product class the code nominally describes.

State and local governments buying under food-service codes are primarily school districts, state agencies managing institutional food service (corrections, health and human services, veterans homes), and county or regional education cooperatives, with activity concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables (approximately $4.5 million over three years), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract, and the Douglas County School System's main-line food service distributor RFP (approximately $9 million annually). These solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, fixed or indexed pricing, firm delivery schedules, and insurance requirements. The code's mismatch with actual procurement suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that organic chicory purees represent a negligible share of state and local food procurement volume.
