UNSPSC 50422704: Dried french dinant celery

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

UNSPSC 50422704 Dried french dinant celery, a Commodity code, is not currently the subject of recent state and local solicitations. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with dried celery procurement; instead, the records document broader food-supply contracts for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child-care meal services that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and prepared foods, but do not isolate or specifically solicit dried celery as a distinguishable commodity. The one opportunity that does address dried legumes—the Oregon Department of Corrections' procurement of dried pinto and red beans (42,500 pounds, ITB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026)—establishes product specifications, delivery, and shelf-life requirements typical of institutional food procurement, but dried celery does not appear among the itemized solicitations.

State and local food procurement in this category tier remains active across school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Rockwood R-VI Schools, Douglas County Schools), correctional systems (Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ, Illinois state prison system), and child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg CACFP). These jurisdictions issue RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs monthly and solicit fresh produce, packaged and prepared foods, and staple grocery items with delivery cycles spanning weekly to quarterly and contract terms of one to three years. The geographic footprint includes Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Oregon, and Illinois. However, the dried celery commodity itself shows no recent procurement history in the available record, suggesting either minimal institutional demand for this item as a standalone line item or classification misalignment in state and local procurement systems.
