UNSPSC 50462702: Canned or jarred celeriac

The variety of celery known as celeriac that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50462702 Canned or jarred celeriac is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within the broader food procurement landscape, yet recent state and local opportunities show little to no activity directly aligned with this specific item. The code's scope — preserved celery root packed in cans or jars — remains highly specialized and is not appearing in current solicitations. Instead, school districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional departments across the country are procuring general canned vegetables including tomatoes, mixed vegetables, and other staples through broad food service RFPs and IFBs; when canned vegetables appear in specifications, they are typically grouped generically rather than itemized by specific variety. The issuing bodies pursuing food procurement are diverse—state departments of corrections and health services, county school districts, and special-purpose school nutrition programs—but none of the recent opportunities name celeriac or jarred celeriac as a line item.

Geographic activity in food procurement concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Oregon) and Midwest (Illinois, Missouri), where school districts and state agencies issue recurring quarterly and annual food solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 2026) covering 210 line items for state supported living centers and hospitals statewide with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato procurement (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 2026) with historical pricing at $14.30 per case; and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 2026) serving 45 schools plus distribution centers. This code shows minimal recent procurement relevance—canned or jarred celeriac does not appear as a line item in any of the sampled opportunities, suggesting limited state and local demand for this specific commodity. Vendors pursuing food service contracts should focus on broader canned-vegetable categories and general food distribution capability rather than single-item specialty products.
