UNSPSC 50452703: Frozen organic chinese celery

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

UNSPSC 50452703 Frozen organic chinese celery is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh and frozen vegetables for institutional food service, though recent solicitations under this code emphasize broader food-supply contracting rather than celery as a line-item category. State and local governments buying under this code are purchasing shelf-stable and refrigerated food products — canned proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and condiments — to support senior services, school meal programs, and institutional kitchens. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education), with school districts appearing as repeat buyers for multi-year food-service contracts tied to the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program.

Recent solicitations show activity concentrated in Georgia. Gwinnett County issued an IWQ 140229 informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a response deadline of October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m., requiring delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026 and mandating three vendor references and proof of compliance with worker verification requirements. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (PE55645NONST2026000000009) with a June 22, 2026 deadline, with full scope and pricing details contained in the attached 12 MB solicitation document. Early County Board of Education released a line-by-line food bid (PE55045NONST2027000000006) due June 8, 2026 covering 300+ food items and 60 non-food and paper products with domestic sourcing preferences, low-sodium and whole-grain emphasis, a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract period, firm pricing for 15 days post-award with escalation tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data, and allowance for other school districts to piggyback on identical terms.
