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, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this tag. The source contains no opportunities specifically for canned or jarred celeriac; the code appears to be a taxonomy mislabeling artifact. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code instead solicit broad shelf-stable food products — canned tomatoes, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies — for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, county senior services, and other institutional food service operations. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple recurring bids for state supported living centers), the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office, Georgia and Texas school districts, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, and Burke County Public Schools. The mix skews toward state agencies and school districts, with repeat activity from Texas HHS and TDCJ.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas (multiple HHSC solicitations for Lufkin and El Paso state supported living centers, TDCJ cafeteria foods) and Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, State of Georgia). Oregon also appears (Department of Corrections canned tomato bid, July 2026; Illinois shows one quarterly food order). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas HHS IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items, prepared foods and food service supplies, due October 23, 2026), the Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods to the Senior Services Center (35 line items, due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026 at $13.75 per case from prior purchase), and the Texas TDCJ IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas (response deadline extended to May 4, 2026). The code shows active institutional food-service procurement but does not correlate with its nominal commodity name.
