UNSPSC 50482802: Celeriac purees

The variety of celery known as celeriac which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482802 Celeriac purees is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty vegetable products for institutional food service, though recent activity under this code shows minimal direct solicitation for celeriac specifically. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly naming celeriac purees; instead, state and local food procurement activity documented here spans broader categories including fresh produce, canned vegetables, frozen items, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods for schools, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and state-operated institutions. When celeriac purees appear in sourcing at all, they are embedded within larger food service line-item buys that include dozens or hundreds of products across multiple categories rather than standalone specialty-item procurements.

State and local issuing bodies conducting food procurement include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Ben Hill County Schools, Muscogee County School District), state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Georgia state operations), and veterans' facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, with school nutrition programs representing the largest concentration of recent solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0017449 IFB for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), covering approximately 210 line items including fresh, frozen, and specialty foods; the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) seeking grocery supply and weekly delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens; and the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery solicitations (due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items for the 2026-27 school year. Celeriac purees, if sourced at all under this code, would likely appear as one line item within these broad institutional food service contracts rather than as a specialized standalone procurement, making this code a low-priority target for vendors focused solely on celery root products.
