UNSPSC 50442705: Frozen giant pink celery

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

UNSPSC 50442705 Frozen giant pink celery, a Commodity code, does not match the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically for frozen giant pink celery; instead, the tagged opportunities overwhelmingly cover frozen assorted vegetables, frozen corn, frozen carrots, frozen potato products, fresh produce, and broad grocery procurement. Code 50442705 shows little relevant recent activity in the state and local market, and the mismatch between the nominal code scope and the actual solicitation tags suggests either a classification error in the upstream source data or minimal market activity for this specific commodity.

State and local issuing bodies—Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina, and county correctional facilities—are actively purchasing frozen vegetables and fresh produce through ITBs, IFBs, and RFPs, but none of the recent records identify frozen giant pink celery as a line item or contract requirement. Procurement activity centers instead on commodity-level frozen vegetables (carrots, corn, mixed assorted blends, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, green beans), fresh produce (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens), and comprehensive grocery bundles supporting food service operations across institutional, school, and nutrition-assistance programs. If pursuing this code, vendors should verify the actual commodity specification in each opportunity against the coded category to confirm alignment.
