UNSPSC 50422711: Dried ivory tower celery

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

UNSPSC 50422711 Dried ivory tower celery, a Commodity code, does not map to the actual work state and local governments are procuring under the recent solicitations tagged with this code. The source shows no active state or local opportunities for dried ivory tower celery specifically; instead, the posted opportunities span broad food service procurement for school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and municipal child care services, encompassing fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and miscellaneous grocery items. The code's nominal scope bears no meaningful relationship to the scope of work in the recent state and local market activity.

The recent solicitations under this code reflect a disconnect between taxonomy classification and actual procurement need. The City of Edinburg, Texas posted an RFP (due August 4, 2026) for Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal service supplies across five categories—beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood products—serving 400 children daily. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products (response deadline May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) covering approximately 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments for six TDCJ distribution points. Fairfax County Public Schools solicited a Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB due April 27, 2026) for grocery delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited bids for over 900 grocery line items for the 2026-27 school year (due April 29, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (approximately 42,500 pounds, due June 19, 2026) and dried pinto beans alone (127,500 pounds, due March 20, 2026). The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts (due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined. The code shows no current activity aligned with its stated commodity name and presents a classification anomaly that warrants verification before pursuing opportunities tagged under this UNSPSC designation.
