UNSPSC 50442703: Frozen chinese celery

The variety of celery known as chinese celery that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50442703 Frozen chinese celery, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity captured in recent opportunities. The source records show no solicitations for frozen Chinese celery specifically. Instead, recent state and local contracts tagged under or near this code span a much broader frozen-vegetable landscape—frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen carrots, frozen assorted blends, and fresh produce—alongside institutional food service for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, state health agencies, and county food distribution services. The actual buying pattern reflects procurement of commodity frozen vegetables and fresh produce as bulk inputs to large institutional food-service operations rather than specialty Asian produce lines.

State and local buyers soliciting frozen-vegetable commodities include the Oregon Department of Corrections (multiple ITBs for frozen corn, potatoes, carrots, and assorted blends in July and April 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (cafeteria food products via IFB 304T-26-300CF, posted May 2026), school districts across Georgia, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Texas, and Missouri (comprehensive food bids for school nutrition programs, posted April through June 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food and consumables statewide, IFB HHS0016792 and HHS0017449, posted February and June 2026), and county correctional facilities in Pennsylvania and Georgia. The geographic spread covers Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with school districts and state institutional food-service operations as the dominant issuer base. Representative recent activity includes the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000017451 for 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn (due July 24, 2026) at reference pricing of $0.498 per pound, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0016792V2 for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (due March 19, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years). The code shows minimal recent activity specific to frozen Chinese celery and should not be pursued under that commodity specification without direct confirmation from issuing bodies that the product is in scope.
