UNSPSC 50492908 Organic sanda chicory purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local governments are soliciting under this code. Recent state and local opportunities show no purchases of organic sanda chicory purees; instead, the code captures broad food service and consumables procurement for institutional cafeterias, food service operations, and meal programs at state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and senior services departments. Soliciting bodies are purchasing prepared and shelf-stable food products, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, produce, condiments, and food service supplies—items ranging from french fries and chicken wings to canned vegetables, tortillas, rice, and disposable containers. The issuing-body mix spans state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards of commissioners, municipal school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state-level nutrition programs. This is high-volume, recurring institutional purchasing with standardized bid cycles and strict compliance requirements including USDA grades, FDA labeling, HACCP plans, Buy American Act compliance, and E-Verify verification.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted four solicitations between May and October 2026 for supplemental food and consumables across state supported living centers and state hospitals, ranging from 20 to 210 line items with estimated historical volumes of $1.5 million annually. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) issued a school nutrition IFB due June 15, 2026, for food products and cafeteria furnishings across four schools with monthly pricing and quarterly escalation clauses. Burke County Public Schools (Waynesboro, Georgia) solicited nearly 400 line items across five schools in a sealed bid with opening June 8, 2026, and contract start July 1, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections requested approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, with bids due June 19, 2026, reflecting an eight-truck-load procurement at $13.75 per case (prior purchase from California Healthy Harvest). Gwinnett County (Georgia) issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026. The code shows active, recurring procurement activity but no evidence of organic sanda chicory purees being actually solicited or purchased.
