UNSPSC 50402707: Giant white celery

The variety of celery known as giant white celery

UNSPSC 50402707 Giant white celery, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a specific produce item, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitation explicitly requesting giant white celery; instead, it shows school districts, state agencies, and child nutrition programs soliciting bids for comprehensive fresh produce baskets that include celery as one line item among dozens or that name other produce types entirely.

The most recent state and local buys under related produce codes span school nutrition programs (elementary through secondary), child nutrition centers, and state institutional food service (primarily the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), with activity concentrated in Georgia, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026), the Hillsborough County Public Schools USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program procurement (proposals due March 11, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitations for bulk carrots (IW241979-A, 1,200 tons due March 17, 2026) and white potatoes (IW253099, due June 23, 2026). Buyers across these jurisdictions emphasize local or regional sourcing, HACCP certification, traceability documentation, farm-of-origin labeling, temperature-controlled delivery, and compliance with USDA food safety and Buy American standards. Pricing is typically per-unit or per-pound with firm quotes for 30 to 90 days post-award. Given that giant white celery is a single-line commodity and state and local buyers consolidate produce into annual or multi-quarter whole-goods contracts with multiple vendors competing across 60–100+ line items, standalone celery procurement is unlikely; vendors pursuing this code should focus instead on larger produce supply contracts and position celery as part of a broad seasonal offering to school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations.
