UNSPSC 50442711: Frozen ivory tower celery

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

UNSPSC 50442711 Frozen ivory tower celery is a Commodity code that does not map to documented state and local procurement activity. Recent solicitations tagged under this code or similar frozen-vegetable codes do not consistently purchase "frozen ivory tower celery" as a discrete product line; instead, state and local food service buyers—primarily corrections departments, school districts, and health and human services facilities—procure frozen mixed vegetables, frozen carrots, frozen corn, and frozen assorted blends as commodity staples. The code's nominal description does not align with the actual commodity bundles being solicited. Procurement activity under related frozen-vegetable codes shows routine, recurring demand from institutional food service operations, particularly the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and multiple school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, which source frozen vegetables through ITB, RFP, and IFB notices on annual or multi-year cycles.

Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (TDCJ and HHSC), and Georgia school districts, with secondary activity in Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, bids due July 24, 2026, five percent Oregon-goods preference plus five percent resident-bidder preference), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T26300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including frozen specialty entrees (bids extended to May 4, 2026), and the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools (bids due April 27, 2026, requiring minimum 76 items bid). Because the UNSPSC 50442711 code does not align with recent solicited commodity scope, vendors should cross-reference related frozen-vegetable and grocery-commodity codes when evaluating state and local opportunities in institutional food service.
