UNSPSC 50462704: Canned or jarred french dinant celery

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

UNSPSC 50462704 Canned or jarred french dinant celery, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable preserved vegetables that state and local governments procure for food service operations at state institutions, school districts, and county agencies. Recent solicitations show this code appearing in broad food-service procurement RFBs and IFBs that bundle dozens or hundreds of food product line items for cafeteria, dining facility, and canteen operations. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies operating supported living centers and state hospitals, school districts, and county nutritional services programs. Scope spans institutional food supply contracting where canned or preserved vegetables are ordered as components of larger consumable-foods packages rather than as standalone line items; vendors bid on comprehensive food catalogs that include proteins, dairy, condiments, and supplies alongside vegetables.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs for state supported living centers (Lufkin and El Paso) in June and August 2026, with estimated annual volumes in the range of 1 to 24 cases per item per facility. In Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables for senior services (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools sought bids on nearly 400 line items of comprehensive school nutrition products including canned items (due June 5, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a separate solicitation for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026. Delivery is typically F.O.B. Destination with inside delivery required, response cycles run 7–14 days, and bidders must meet food safety standards including USDA/FDA compliance, proper labeling, and minimum shelf-life requirements. No single recent solicitation isolated canned french dinant celery as a standalone line item; the code sees activity as part of broader food-service contracts where pricing and ordering occur at the line-item level within larger institutional supply awards.
