UNSPSC 50432700: Dried organic celery

The type of organic vegetable known as organic celery that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50432700 Dried organic celery, a Class code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers dried organic celery products, but the most recent opportunities posted under this code procure kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and general cafeteria and institutional food products—none of which fall within the dried organic celery scope. The mismatch suggests either tagging inconsistency in the source systems or that the code has been repurposed to capture broader dried-legume and institutional food procurement. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include corrections departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections), state purchasing offices (Oregon, Georgia, Illinois), and municipalities and their affiliated programs (City of Edinburg, Texas, for its Child and Adult Care Food Program and Boys & Girls Club partnership). Buyers are primarily institutional food-service operations—correctional facilities, child-care programs, and state educational or community services—purchasing bulk dried beans and related food staples for high-volume meal preparation.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (Solicitation S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation criterion (5% for in-state fabrication or processing, 5% for in-state headquarters), requiring triple-cleaned beans meeting U.S. No. 2 or better grade standards, palletized to 2,500-pound FOB-destination pallets at Salem, Oregon, within 45 days of purchase order. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments (Solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification-sheet completion standards prohibiting abbreviated or shorthand responses. The Texas Comptroller, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic Texas distribution points (original due date April 21, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026) with single-vendor awards per line item and contract terms through August 31, 2027, plus two optional one-year renewals.
