UNSPSC 50472701: Canned or jarred organic celebrity celery

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

UNSPSC 50472701 Canned or jarred organic celebrity celery, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct procurement activity in state and local government; the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for this product. Instead, the code appears tagged to broad food service solicitations that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items—canned vegetables, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and related supplies—where canned celery would represent one potential SKU among many, not a standalone procurement driver. State and local buyers use this code as part of larger food inventory classifications rather than as a dedicated purchasing category.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI and Liberty County in Missouri, Burke County and Muscogee County in Georgia, Fairfax County in Virginia, and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC for state hospitals and supported living centers, and Oregon Department of Corrections), and occasionally state agencies (Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia state operations). The mix reflects institutional food service demand—child nutrition programs, state facility dining, and corrections food service. Oregon's Department of Corrections and Texas HHSC appear repeatedly across the opportunities block, signaling consistent procurement cadence. Most opportunities are issued as IFBs or RFPs covering quarterly or annual terms (July 2026 through June 2027 is the dominant contract period). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts and the State), Texas (HHSC statewide procurement), Oregon (ODOC), Missouri (Rockwood and Liberty County school districts), Illinois (Veterans Home), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center food procurement (IFB HHS0017449, response due July 13, 2026, covering food and consumable products including canned goods under NIGP classes 380, 385, 390, and 393), the Oregon Department of Corrections tomato canned procurement (Solicitation S2910000017145, response due June 19, 2026, for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better), and Rockwood R-VI School District child nutrition groceries (Solicitations CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027 and CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, responses due April 29, 2026, encompassing over 900 line items). The code itself does not guarantee volume or visibility—it functions as a classification within much larger food service buys where pricing, delivery logistics, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, and Buy American requirements drive competition.
