UNSPSC 50462700: Canned or jarred celery

The type of vegetable known as celery that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50462700 Canned or jarred celery, a Class code, does not appear in the recent state and local procurement record. The source contains no opportunities explicitly soliciting canned or jarred celery as a standalone line item or primary commodity. Recent state and local food procurement activity under related codes has focused on broader food categories—fresh produce, frozen vegetables, canned tomatoes, and comprehensive grocery or meal-service contracts—rather than preserved celery products as a distinct SKU. A single archived Oregon Department of Corrections tomato paste solicitation (S2910000016089, posted February 2026) and multiple canned tomato bids (S2910000015837 and S2910000016405) demonstrate that state corrections and education agencies do solicit preserved vegetable products, but celery does not surface as a procurement target in the available opportunities from June 2026 back through January 2026.

State and local buyers actively procuring food under adjacent UNSPSC codes—school districts, state health and human services agencies, and corrections departments in Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Oregon, and Texas—are sourcing comprehensive food baskets that include fresh, frozen, and canned produce rather than specialty preserved items. The Douglas County School System (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood School District (Missouri), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission are among the most active recent issuers, but their RFPs and IFBs specify fresh celery when celery appears at all, not canned or jarred variants. Without evidence of current demand, the code represents a watch position rather than an active pursuit opportunity.
