UNSPSC 50592907: Dried Non GMO salad king chicory

The variety of Non GMO chicory known as Non GMO salad king chicory that has been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50592907 Dried Non-GMO salad king chicory is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct procurement activity in state and local government contracting; the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically for dried chicory or related dried salad vegetables, despite the code's explicit scope.

State and local procurement activity under this Commodity does not surface in the available recent opportunities. The most recent opportunities tagged at or near this code tier span comprehensive grocery procurement for school districts, county and state nutrition programs, and municipal meal services — but these solicitations request broad grocery baskets, fresh produce, meal preparation services, or USDA commodity distribution rather than isolated dried specialty vegetables. The City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery bid (BNB052266) for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 food and consumable products IFB for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, the Douglas County School System's February 2026 RFP for food supply and distribution ($9 million estimated annual value), and Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 Master Grocery K-12 contract all reflect high-volume, multi-category procurement where dried specialty ingredients like chicory would appear as line items within broader vendor relationships rather than as standalone commodity buys. School districts and state nutrition authorities are the primary issuing bodies across recent activity, with some county and municipal engagement for senior meals and institutional food service. Geographic concentration in recent solicitations spans Georgia, Florida, Texas, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Virginia, with school districts representing the most frequent buyer type. Unless a jurisdiction explicitly disaggregates specialty dried vegetables as a standalone procurement or a vendor pursues this code as part of a larger institutional grocery contract, activity under UNSPSC 50592907 remains below the visibility threshold of posted state and local solicitations.
