UNSPSC 50462703: Canned or jarred chinese celery

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

UNSPSC 50462703 Canned or jarred chinese celery is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy primarily as a component of broader food service procurements for institutional kitchens, dining facilities, and food assistance programs. The code appears most frequently in solicitations issued by state health and human services agencies, county school districts, and correctional facilities that source shelf-stable vegetables and prepared-food ingredients in bulk quantities. Recent opportunities show this commodity embedded within larger requests for consumable foods and kitchen supplies rather than as a standalone line item; when named explicitly, it competes alongside canned proteins, vegetables, pasta, rice, sauces, and condiments in the 50-350 case-quantity range per line item. Issuing bodies include state-supported living centers, county school nutrition programs, county senior services operations, and state correctional departments across multiple states.

The code sees steady activity in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's consumable foods IFB HHS0018082 for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), which solicited 22 food and supply line items with annual quantities of 1–24 cases per item and a seven-day delivery requirement; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables for Department of Community Services (quotes due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with 5 percent Oregon-preference evaluation (bids due June 19, 2026); and Burke County Public Schools' sealed-bid school nutrition food procurement across five schools with nearly 400 line items spanning fresh and canned produce, proteins, and dairy (bids due June 5, 2026). All solicitations specify USDA standards compliance, F.O.B. Destination delivery with freight prepaid, minimum shelf-life requirements, and firm fixed pricing for initial contract periods with adjustments permitted at renewal on a cost-index basis.
