UNSPSC 50482804: French dinant celery purees

The variety of celery known as french dinant celery which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482804 French dinant celery purees is a Commodity code that describes a specific food product, but state and local governments do not appear to procure French dinant celery purees under this code in any recent solicitations. The sixteen most-recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code span school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans homes, health and human services agencies, and state procurement divisions across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri, soliciting fresh produce, canned tomatoes, tomato paste, eggs, proteins, dairy, bakery items, and broad grocery supply — none of which align with the code's nominal commodity description. The code shows a significant mismatch between its intended scope and actual procurement activity.

The misalignment appears systematic rather than incidental. Recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission seeking supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million); the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools issuing a Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, substantial multi-school supply); and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri soliciting grocery items and net-off-invoice products (bids due April 29, 2026, serving nearly 19,000 students). If purchasing managers within these agencies are consistently tagging broad-category food procurement as French dinant celery purees, the code itself may be incorrectly configured in their systems or serves as a default placeholder. Before pursuing this code, verify with target customers whether they intentionally source this specific product or whether the tagging represents data-quality issues in their procurement taxonomy.
