UNSPSC 50412704: Organic french dinant celery

The variety of organic celery known as organic french dinant celery

UNSPSC 50412704 Organic french dinant celery, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific produce variety—organic celery of the Dinant cultivar—yet recent opportunities tagged under this code do not request organic celery or match the specificity of the code name. State and local governments do actively procure fresh produce, including celery and leafy greens, but the solicitations in the recent-opportunities block are broadly framed as comprehensive fresh-produce buys covering dozens of line items across fruits, vegetables, eggs, and complementary items for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and farm-to-school initiatives. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity scope and the broad, multi-item nature of actual state and local food-service procurement suggests this code sees limited direct application or that jurisdictions are tagging multi-item bids with higher-tier produce codes rather than single-commodity codes.

School districts dominate issuing activity: Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), 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), Northside Independent School District (Texas), and Austin Independent School District (Texas) all posted produce procurements between February and May 2026. The State of Georgia has also solicited fresh produce directly. Recent solicitations emphasize USDA compliance (HACCP, Buy American provisions, school-lunch-program reimbursability), local and domestic sourcing preferences, weekly or twice-weekly delivery to school sites, firm pricing for 12-month terms with potential cost adjustments tied to USDA market indices, and line-item bid structures allowing multiple vendors per award. Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food-bid RFP closing June 8, 2026, covering 300+ food items with domestic sourcing preferences and whole-grain/low-sodium specifications; Northside Independent School District's fresh-produce RFP 2026-048 due May 7, 2026, emphasizing Texas-grown produce and 35% weight on price in evaluation; and Douglas County School System's multi-district RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC cooperative, due March 4, 2026, with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spend across two geographic areas in Georgia. Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri and Florida. Produce procurement under this code or related family codes remains a steady institutional spend tied to school-year cycles and summer-program operations.
