UNSPSC 50432706: Dried organic giant red celery

The variety of organic celery known as organic giant red celery that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50432706 Dried organic giant red celery, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific scope. The code nominally covers a narrow product line—organic, dried celery in bulk form—yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect that specificity. Instead, state and local buying under this code reflects a broader institutional food procurement pattern driven by correctional systems, child nutrition programs, and educational institutions seeking dried legumes and packaged food supplies for bulk meal preparation and distribution.

The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller), a city government (City of Edinburg, Texas), and a nonprofit food program (Boys & Girls Club in Texas). Geographically, recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with activity also in Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026 (880-bag increments, all-inclusive delivery pricing); the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 (triple-cleaned, FOB destination to Salem, Oregon, with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered bidders); and the Texas Comptroller's Invitation for Bid 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five TDCJ warehouse locations, with response deadline extended to May 4, 2026 (382 line items including proteins, dairy, grains, and produce with USDA grade requirements and FOB Destination pricing). The City of Edinburg's RFP 2026-017 for a Child and Adult Care Food Program procures beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items for 400 children daily over nine months, with a local-vendor preference of 5% under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and evaluation weighting cost at 30%, qualifications at 25%, technical approach at 25%, and menu quality at 20%. The code shows activity but does not demonstrate a concentration of opportunities specifically matching dried organic celery; the mismatch suggests either broad code tagging in state procurement systems or minimal demand for the specific commodity.
