UNSPSC 50452710: Frozen organic hopkins fenlander celery

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

UNSPSC 50452710 Frozen organic hopkins fenlander celery is a Commodity code that covers specialized frozen vegetable products. However, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of frozen organic celery specifically. Instead, the three most recent solicitations tag this code while actually purchasing broad food-service baskets — shelf-stable proteins, grains, canned vegetables, and dairy products for senior services, state institutional feeding, and school nutrition programs. The code appears to be a catch-all categorization for food procurement rather than a narrowly targeted listing for a specific produce item. State and local issuing bodies under this code include county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state procurement divisions (State of Georgia), and school district food-service departments (Early County Board of Education).

Procurement activity under this code concentrates in Georgia, with recent opportunities posted by Gwinnett County in October 2026 (IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items, response due October 19, 2026), the State of Georgia in May 2026 (food, supplies, and kitchen products bid with attached scope document), and Early County Board of Education in May 2026 (line-by-line food bid covering 300+ food items plus non-food supplies for school breakfast and lunch programs, response due June 8, 2026). The Early County solicitation emphasizes whole-grain products, low-sodium formulations, domestic sourcing preferences, and compliance with USDA nutrition standards, with prices held firm for 15 days post-award and escalation considered quarterly against USDA or CPI benchmarks. Schools require $500,000 general liability insurance, HACCP plans, and E-Verify compliance. Vendors should note that piggybacking rights are permitted to other school districts on identical bid terms, expanding addressable market beyond the initial school district.
