UNSPSC 50442707: Frozen giant white celery

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

UNSPSC 50442707 Frozen giant white celery is a Commodity code that sees virtually no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The source records 25 recent state and local solicitations nominally tagged with this code or closely related frozen-vegetable and grocery codes, yet none of them actually solicit frozen giant white celery. Instead, the recent opportunities span frozen corn, frozen potato products, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen carrots, fresh produce, and comprehensive grocery procurement across schools, correctional facilities, and institutional food service operations. The mismatch between code assignment and actual scope signals either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or a commodity so specialized that it does not appear regularly in published notices.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing frozen-vegetable procurement include the Oregon Department of Corrections (multiple ITBs for frozen corn, carrots, and assorted blends in July 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFBs for supplemental food and consumables statewide), school districts across Georgia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, and Virginia, and county correctional facilities in Pennsylvania and Montgomery County. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and the Mid-Atlantic region, with school nutrition programs and state institutional food service driving the majority of visible demand. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 frozen-corn bid (ITB S2910000017451, due July 24, 2026, approximately 40,000 pounds at historical pricing near $0.498 per pound) and its frozen potato-products solicitation (ITB S2910000017439, also July 24, 2026, 120,000 pounds across three truckloads). The Texas HHSC supplemental food-and-consumables procurement (IFB HHS0016792V2, historical value up to $4.5 million over three years) and the Bridgeport Board of Education grocery RFP (BNB052266, 1,100+ line items, due June 30, 2026, now closed) illustrate the scale and complexity of institutional procurement. Frozen giant white celery does not appear to be a material line item in any of these recent solicitations, suggesting limited market traction for this specific commodity in state and local food service contracting at present.
