UNSPSC 50412705: Organic giant pink celery

The variety of organic celery known as organic giant pink celery

UNSPSC 50412705 Organic giant pink celery is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure fresh produce — primarily fresh vegetables and fruits — as part of food service operations across parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and institutional dining programs. Recent solicitations show the code applied to diverse food-procurement contexts: school district lunch programs, regional park concession operations, healthcare facility food service, and statewide institutional food procurement. The work involves sourcing and delivering fresh produce that meets quality, food-safety, and freshness standards, often with seasonal pricing adjustments and compliance requirements such as HACCP plans, Buy American provisions, and temperature-controlled logistics. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, school districts, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions; school districts and state agencies emerge as repeat buyers in the recent record.
