UNSPSC 50422702: Dried celeriac

The variety of celery known as celeriac that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50422702 Dried celeriac (Commodity) shows limited recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's narrow product scope. The code designates a single dried vegetable product — celeriac root that has been dehydrated for storage and ingredient use — yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting dried celeriac. Instead, the records show broader food procurement across school districts, state corrections departments, and child nutrition programs that encompass dried beans, fresh produce, and mixed grocery categories, with no mention of dried celeriac as a line item or required ingredient.

The absence of recent dried-celeriac-specific opportunities reflects procurement patterns in school nutrition, correctional food service, and child-care meal programs where bulk dried vegetables appear in limited, standardized ingredient sets. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two bids for dried pinto and red beans (ITB S2910000016233 in March 2026 and ITB S2910000017140 in June 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products across 382 line items, but neither named dried celeriac. School districts in Fairfax County, Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Missouri; and Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County, Georgia, all procured fresh or processed produce and grocery items without dried celeriac appearing in documented specs. This code warrants a watch posture rather than active pursuit — the product category exists in institutional food service procurement, but current demand signals are not visible in recent state and local notices.
