UNSPSC 50452705: Frozen organic giant pink celery

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

UNSPSC 50452705 Frozen organic giant pink celery (Commodity) does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The source records show school district and state agency food-service solicitations for fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples, eggs, and comprehensive nutrition-program supplies — none of which reference frozen organic celery as a line item or procurement focus. The code's nominal scope, a specialized frozen vegetable product, appears misaligned with what state and local purchasing offices actually buy under this classification in current market activity.

School districts and state agencies dominate the recent activity, with the largest volume concentrated in Georgia and Missouri. The Douglas County School System issued back-to-back RFPs in January and February 2026 for comprehensive food-supply distribution (approximately $9 million annually) and fresh produce with eggs across a 30-district cooperative buying arrangement (approximately $5.5 million annually). Dallas Independent School District (Texas) and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) also solicited multiple food categories in February through April 2026, with response windows of 30–60 days. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) and City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) posted IFBs in May 2026 for line-item food and grocery bids spanning 300+ items with June response deadlines. Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited over 900 grocery line items for a July 2026 start, and the State of Georgia posted separate solicitations for fresh produce (IFB, May 2026) and general food supplies (May 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity; bidders pursuing state and local food-service work should monitor broader commodity codes covering fresh and frozen produce, dairy, proteins, and grocery staples rather than this narrowly defined frozen-celery category.
