UNSPSC 50472704: Canned or jarred organic french dinant celery

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

UNSPSC 50472704 Canned or jarred organic french dinant celery (Commodity) does not reflect the actual procurement activity state and local governments are conducting under this code. Recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code are procuring broad institutional food supplies—fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, canned vegetables, and food service consumables—rather than the specific organic celery product the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services departments operating state supported living centers and state hospitals, county boards of commissioners funding senior services, school districts supplying nutrition programs, and state correctional and criminal justice agencies. Scope ranges from Texas Health and Human Services Commission bids for 20 to 210+ line items of food and consumables serving state facilities statewide, to county and school district procurements of 35 to nearly 400 line items for cafeteria and canteen operations. Most solicitations specify delivery within 7 days of order on FOB Destination terms, require firm fixed pricing, mandate minimum three vendor references and compliance certifications (E-Verify, debarment, non-collusion), and evaluate on lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value criteria with price as a component.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued at least three visible bids since May 2026 for El Paso and Lufkin state supported living centers (IFB HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026; IFB HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026; IFB HHS0017872 due August 25, 2026), and a statewide supplemental food and consumables bid (IFB HHS0016792V2) with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Georgia school districts have posted multiple nutrition program bids—Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (due June 5, 2026)—both requiring nearly 400 line items across five to six school locations. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services. Oregon Department of Corrections procured 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, with prior purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest), and Illinois posted a quarterly weekly food order (FY-27 IVHQ, due June 26, 2026). The code's nominal scope and actual procurement patterns diverge significantly; vendors treating this as a targeted organic celery opportunity will find little relevant recent activity.
