UNSPSC 50432714: Dried organic standard bearer celery

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

UNSPSC 50432714 Dried organic standard bearer celery (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—dried organic celery—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this code, which instead solicit dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans) and broader food-supply categories for institutional meal programs, correctional facilities, and state agencies.

State and local buyers are instead using this code designation to solicit staple dried proteins and legumes for high-volume institutional feeding, including the Georgia Department of Corrections (kidney beans RFQ due October 9, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections (approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% Oregon-preference evaluation credit), the State of Oregon institutions (dried black beans triple-cleaned, due August 21, 2026), the City of Edinburg, Texas (CACFP meal program food and nonfood items due August 4, 2026), the State of Illinois (quarterly weekly food orders), the State of Georgia (general food and kitchen products), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (approximately 382 cafeteria food line items across five warehouse regions, extended IFB due May 4, 2026). The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and what is actually being procured suggests either classifier error or significant scope drift in how this code is applied across state procurement systems. A vendor pursuing dried organic celery should verify the code assignment with issuing offices before investing in bid preparation.
