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, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity under its nominal scope. The single representative opportunity identified — Oregon's August 2026 bid for dried black beans — sits under a different UNSPSC code and does not track celery procurement. State and local institutions procuring dried produce for institutional meal service, correctional food programs, and child nutrition initiatives do solicit dried legumes, vegetables, and staple food items regularly, but the available recent opportunities do not show demand specifically for dried celery under this code. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the City of Edinburg have all issued food-supply RFQs and IFBs in 2026, but these solicit beans, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared meals — not dried celery. The code's abstract title does not align with the work state and local buyers are actually purchasing in the recent record.

The geographic spread of active institutional food procurement spans Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, with additional activity in secondary jurisdictions. Representative solicitations include Georgia Correctional Industries' October 2026 RFQ for kidney beans (due October 9, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST, with a 10% combined Oregon-fabrication and headquarters preference), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (extended to May 4, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Central Time), and the City of Edinburg's August 2026 RFP for Child and Adult Care Food Program supplies serving 400 children daily under a local-vendor preference. No recent opportunities specifically track procurement of dried celery; the code shows little relevant activity for business development targeting state and local contracts.
