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 is a Class code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The source records show no solicitations specifically for dried organic celery; instead, the tagged opportunities reflect broader food-supply and meal-service procurements where dried celery may be one line item among hundreds. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal service via RFP 2026017 (due August 4, 2026) spanning beverages, paper goods, proteins, vegetables, and snacks. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for dried pinto beans (127,500 pounds in March 2026 and 42,500 pounds in June 2026), meeting U.S. No. 2 or better grade standards with triple-cleaned certification and one-year shelf life minimums—a commodity specification profile that would apply similarly to dried celery if procured. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products across 382 line items via IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026), including proteins, grains, dairy, vegetables, and condiments with USDA grade certification and shelf-life requirements. School districts in Georgia (Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County) and Virginia (Fairfax County) solicited fresh produce and grocery items for school nutrition programs, typically via ITB or RFP with weekly or standing-order delivery models and firm fixed pricing.

Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, school districts, and city child nutrition programs across the South and Pacific Northwest. State procurement activity concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County cooperative serving 30 districts with $4.4 million estimated annual spend for Area One; Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County individual districts) and Oregon (ODOC). School districts dominate the mix—Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri, 6,900+ daily lunch participants), and Muscogee County School System (Georgia) represent large, recurring institutional buyers. Geographic spread reaches Texas, Missouri, Georgia, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois. Dried celery as a standalone commodity shows no dedicated solicitations in this dataset; procurement typically occurs as part of master grocery contracts or bulk staple buys where produce and pantry items are bundled. A vendor pursuing this code should expect to compete as a line item within larger meal-service aggregations rather than as a dedicated product line.
