UNSPSC 50422713: Dried soup celery d'amsterdam

The variety of celery known as soup celery d'amsterdam that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50422713 Dried soup celery d'amsterdam is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The source material identifies this as a dried vegetable ingredient product, yet the fourteen recent opportunities posted under this code span broad food service procurement for schools, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs — none of which specifically solicit dried soup celery or any celery product by name or specification. The code appears to have been applied to these solicitations as a catch-all tag rather than as a precise commodity classification, indicating a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing demand. State and local buyers are pursuing general grocery and produce supply contracts, bulk dried beans, fresh produce, and cafeteria food items, but not the specialized dried vegetable ingredient this code nominally represents.

The recent opportunities span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, and State of Georgia), and municipal or district food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP program). Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Edinburg RFP 2026017 for CACFP meal program supplies (responses due August 4, 2026), the Texas Comptroller IFB 304T-26-300CF for TDCJ cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (extended deadline May 4, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016233 for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (deadline March 20, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts (deadline March 4, 2026, estimated annual value approximately $5.5 million). This code appears inactive for its stated commodity and should not be prioritized for business development targeting actual dried soup celery or related specialty dried vegetables.
