UNSPSC 50422702: Dried celeriac

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

UNSPSC 50422702 Dried celeriac (Commodity) procurement activity shows little recent state and local solicitation volume directly aligned with the code. The recent opportunities in the source record instead cover dried kidney beans, dried black beans, dried pinto and red beans, and broad institutional food supply contracts — related commodity procurement but not celeriac specifically. State and local buyers under this tier of UNSPSC typically purchase dried vegetables and legumes for institutional food service, including correctional facilities, child and adult care programs, and state agencies; volume and price sensitivity are high, and delivery compliance with USDA grading and food-safety standards is standard. Issuing bodies span state corrections agencies, state purchasing offices, municipal procurement divisions, and specialized food service procurement arms. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the State of Oregon have posted recent solicitations for dried legumes and institutional food products within the past four months, indicating recurring demand cycles tied to quarterly and annual institutional meal planning.

Geographic activity centers on the South (Georgia), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Texas, with Illinois also posting food procurement recently. Representative recent opportunities include the Georgia Correctional Industries IFB for kidney beans (Solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026, 880-bag increments, all-inclusive delivery pricing), the Oregon Department of Corrections RFQ for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (Solicitation S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026, 5% Oregon processing and 5% Oregon headquarters preference applied, FOB destination Salem within 45 days, prior incumbent Intersect USA at $0.493 per pound in August 2025), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice institutional cafeteria food products IFB (Solicitation 304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026, 382 line items across five geographic distribution areas, mandatory pre-bid held March 26, 2026). The code itself shows minimal dedicated celeriac procurement activity; business development professionals should monitor broader dried-vegetable and legume solicitations under higher-tier UNSPSC families and confirm celeriac demand through direct outreach to institutional food service procurement offices.
