UNSPSC 50472708: Canned or jarred organic golden self-blanching celery

The variety of organic celery known as organic golden self-blanching celery that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50472708 Canned or jarred organic golden self-blanching celery is a Commodity code representing a specific shelf-stable produce item, though state and local governments purchase it primarily as part of broader food-service procurement for institutional dining, cafeteria operations, and food-assistance programs rather than as a standalone line item. Recent solicitations show that the code sits within larger consumables procurements for state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, county food-assistance operations, and correctional facilities, where canned and jarred vegetables appear as component items within line-item food bids alongside proteins, frozen items, grains, and condiments.

The issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards and school nutrition programs (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state procurement offices. The geographic spread centers on Texas and Georgia, with recent activity also in Oregon and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), which encompasses 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies with delivery within seven days of order receipt; the Gwinnett County informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables (due October 19, 2026); and the Ben Hill County Schools food bid for school nutrition covering fresh and frozen produce, dairy, and canned goods across four school locations (due June 15, 2026). Activity appears steady across state institutional food service and school lunch procurement cycles but the code itself does not dominate individual solicitations—canned organic celery is typically one line item among hundreds in comprehensive food-service awards.
