UNSPSC 50422707: Dried giant white celery

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

UNSPSC 50422707 Dried giant white celery, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity despite the code's nominal scope. State and local governments solicit dried celery only rarely under this specific code; the recent opportunities block contains no recent solicitations targeting dried giant white celery as a standalone line item. The code does not appear in the scope of major fresh produce, grocery, or food service contracts posted by school districts, state corrections agencies, or municipal child nutrition programs over the past four months. When dried vegetables or celery products are procured, they are typically bundled as sub-items within broader food supply solicitations rather than requested as discrete commodity line items.

The source documents a robust market in fresh produce, bulk dried beans, cafeteria food products, and grocery items across multiple state and local jurisdictions—including school districts in Virginia, Missouri, Georgia, and Texas; state corrections departments in Oregon and Texas; and municipal child nutrition programs in Texas—but none of these solicitations name dried giant white celery as a required or optional line item. The absence of dried celery from recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notices suggests either minimal utilization within state and local food service operations or procurement consolidation under broader commodity groupings. Vendors targeting this code should verify current demand with prospective school district food service directors and state corrections purchasing offices before committing significant pursuit resources.
