UNSPSC 50436803: Dried organic apio

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

UNSPSC 50436803 Dried organic apio, a Commodity code, addresses a narrowly defined agricultural product with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers dried organic celery (apio in Spanish), yet the recent opportunities posted under this code show substantial scope mismatch—they cover broad food service supply, fresh produce, dried beans, and cafeteria provisioning rather than dried organic celery specifically. No recent solicitation explicitly names dried organic celery or dried organic apio as a line item or primary procurement target.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code originate from school districts, state corrections departments, and city child nutrition programs across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia, spanning both RFPs and ITBs with response dates between March and August 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Edinburg, Texas Child and Adult Care Food Program (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) covering broad food supply categories; the Oregon Department of Corrections dried pinto and red beans procurement (ITB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026 for 42,500 pounds at historical pricing of $0.493 per pound); and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for food product supply across 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. The code sees activity from state agencies, school districts, and municipal nutrition programs, but no issuing body appears more than once in the recent record. Given the mismatch between the code's stated scope (dried organic celery) and the actual procurement activity (general food service and dried legume supply), the code does not reliably surface genuine opportunities for vendors specializing in dried organic apio.
