UNSPSC 50452704: Frozen organic french dinant celery

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

UNSPSC 50452704 Frozen organic french dinant celery is a Commodity code that reflects state and local government procurement of shelf-stable and fresh food items for institutional feeding programs, senior services, and school nutrition. The code's nominal scope—frozen organic celery—rarely appears as a standalone line item in recent solicitations; instead, the actual buying under this code encompasses broad food-service procurement where vegetables, proteins, grains, dairy, and related supplies are bundled into multi-line competitive bids. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (managing senior services and community programs), state departments of education and social services, and local school districts operating National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs. The mix skews heavily toward school districts and county human-services agencies using RFQ and IFB vehicles to source food inventories on annual or multi-month cycles, with awards made on a lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder basis and split awards across multiple vendors permitted when jurisdictions choose to diversify supply.

Georgia shows the most recent activity, with three posted opportunities spanning May through October 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables) for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026 and delivery required by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid with a June 22, 2026 response date. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for 300+ food items plus 60 non-food and paper products supporting school meal programs, with bids due June 8, 2026 and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; the district emphasized domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Vendors are expected to absorb packing and transportation costs and maintain price escalation at no more than 3% per six-month period absent documented USDA or CPI increases.
