UNSPSC 50422714: Dried standard bearer celery

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

UNSPSC 50422714 Dried standard bearer celery, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source records no solicitations tagged with this code. Review of twelve recent opportunities spanning school nutrition, correctional facility food service, and municipal child nutrition programs shows extensive procurement of dried legumes (pinto and red beans), fresh produce, grocery staples, cafeteria entrees, beverages, dairy products, and condiments — but no instances of dried celery procurement under this specific code. The opportunities instead reflect broader dried-goods and fresh-produce categories that dominate school district, state corrections, and municipal food-service spending.

State and local procurement in this commodity family concentrates among school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System and Douglas County School System, Georgia; Muscogee County School District, Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri), state departments of corrections (Oregon and Texas), and municipal nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (due March 20, 2026) and 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across proteins, grains, condiments, and staple items (extended response due May 4, 2026). The code's silence in recent activity suggests either that dried celery remains a low-volume or non-standard procurement item in state and local food service, or that purchasing offices are not tagging such procurements to this specific commodity code.
