UNSPSC 50412702: Organic celeriac

The variety of organic celery known as organic celeriac

UNSPSC 50412702 Organic celeriac is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to procure fresh produce for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly naming celeriac or other root vegetables in isolation. Instead, state and local buyers — primarily school districts and county education boards — tag produce procurement under broader produce and food-service codes that encompass celeriac as one line item among dozens of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs. The actual buying pattern across the recent block covers comprehensive fresh-produce supply contracts for child nutrition programs, school lunch and breakfast service, and farm-to-school initiatives, where celeriac would be one component of a multi-hundred-line-item vegetable roster rather than a standalone procurement focus.

School districts dominate issuing activity under produce-related codes in this tier, with recent solicitations from Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Douglas County School System (Georgia serving 30 districts through GEC Buying Cooperative). The State of Georgia has also posted fresh-produce and general food-supplies solicitations. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri. Recent RFP and IFB activity spans March through June 2026, with response deadlines clustered in April and May 2026 and contract terms typically running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Representative solicitations include Northside ISD's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce (response due May 7, 2026), Bulloch County's local-produce IFP requiring 200-mile sourcing (response due May 4, 2026), Douglas County's GEC cooperative RFP for 30 districts at estimated $4.4 million to $1.1 million by area (response due March 4, 2026), and Muscogee County's ITB 26-017 for approximately 60 produce line items (response due April 27, 2026). Vendors typically face firm-pricing requirements, Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, and multi-year renewal options. No solicitation in the recent block explicitly isolates celeriac as a procurement focus.
