UNSPSC 50402708: Golden self-blanching celery

The variety of celery known as golden self-blanching celery

UNSPSC 50402708 Golden self-blanching celery is a Commodity code that does not map to active state and local procurement activity in the available recent opportunities. The source contains no solicitations specifically requesting golden self-blanching celery or other celery varieties beyond a single generic reference to celery as one item among dozens in comprehensive school nutrition produce procurements. The recent opportunities instead target broad fresh produce categories—apples, carrots, potatoes, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, and eggs—procured by school districts, criminal justice agencies, and child nutrition programs across multiple states.

State and local jurisdictions purchasing under codes in the fresh produce family are primarily school districts (Northside ISD, Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, Savannah-Chatham County, Bulloch County, Douglas County, and others across Georgia, Texas, and Florida), correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Head Start programs, senior services divisions, and child nutrition authorities. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce across all district campuses five days per week (response deadline May 7, 2026), the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia via the GEC Buying Cooperative (proposals due March 4, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple ITB solicitations for carrots (IW253079), white potatoes (IW253099), and sweet potatoes (IW253121, all due June 23, 2026). The code shows no recent activity specific to celery as a standalone or differentiated commodity and warrants monitoring rather than immediate pursuit pending visibility into celery-specific opportunities.
