UNSPSC 50462711: Canned or jarred ivory tower celery

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

UNSPSC 50462711 Canned or jarred ivory tower celery is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity identified—Illinois Veterans Home's quarterly food order RFQ posted February 19, 2026—does not specifically name canned celery among its 24 line items, instead listing proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and condiments. Oregon Department of Corrections procurements for canned tomatoes and tomato paste, and school nutrition programs across Illinois, Texas, Georgia, and Missouri soliciting broad food and consumable products, dominate the recent activity in the canned-goods space; none specifically reference canned or jarred celery as a distinct line item or requirement. The code shows no concentration among issuing bodies—activity spans state departments (Illinois, Oregon, Texas), school districts (Fairfax County, Rockwood, Ben Hill County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Burke County), and special-purpose agencies (Texas Comptroller on behalf of Department of Criminal Justice, Health and Human Services Commission).

Geographic spread across recent canned-foods procurement includes Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs representing the largest share of state and local volume. State corrections departments (Oregon, Texas) and health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC) account for institutional food-service buys measured in the millions of dollars annually. Without recent opportunities specifically naming canned celery as a procurement line item, the code appears dormant or commonly aggregated under broader food-supply and consumable-products categories. Business development professionals should monitor whether state and local buyers tag celery products separately in future RFPs or continue bundling them into generic produce and canned-goods line items.
