UNSPSC 50462715: Canned or jarred tall utah triumph celery

The variety of celery known as tall utah triumph celery that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50462715 Canned or jarred tall utah triumph celery, a Commodity code, sees limited direct procurement activity in state and local government buying. The code's nominal scope describes a specific preserved vegetable product, yet recent solicitation activity shows state and local agencies purchasing canned and jarred vegetables as part of much broader food service procurements for institutional feeding — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, health and human services residential centers, and veterans homes. The issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Douglas County School System in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state veterans facilities (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy). No recent solicitation appears to target canned celery specifically; instead, agencies solicit canned vegetables as line items within comprehensive food-supply bids spanning proteins, dairy, produce, grains, condiments, and prepared foods.

Geographic activity clusters heavily in the South and Pacific Northwest. Georgia school districts account for the largest volume of recent postings (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System), alongside Texas procurements from the Health and Human Services Commission and Department of Criminal Justice. Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple solicitations for canned goods including tomatoes and tomato paste. Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools) show sporadic activity. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) and the Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products across four schools (due June 15, 2026), both requesting sealed bids for comprehensive food supply covering dozens of line items at fixed or indexed pricing. The Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (due April 6, 2026) and ITB S2910000016089 for tomato paste (due March 9, 2026) illustrate single-product focus within larger supply chains. Most school district procurements operate on annual cycles tied to the July 1 through June 30 fiscal year, with firm pricing for the initial contract period and renewal options extending two to four additional years. Contract values range from the Illinois Veterans Home quarterly food orders (no value disclosed) to the Douglas County School System's estimated annual $9 million to $5.5 million food supply contracts; the Texas HHS supplemental food procurement shows a historical prior-year value of $1.5 million and a potential three-year maximum of $4.5 million. Buy American and USDA compliance requirements appear consistently across school district solicitations, particularly around domestic agricultural content and nutrition standards. Set-asides for disadvantaged or minority-owned enterprises are not prevalent in the recent postings reviewed.
