UNSPSC 50482807: Giant white celery purees

The variety of celery known as giant white celery which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482807 Giant white celery purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities in the source block are tagged with this code but predominantly solicit broad food and consumable products for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers — rather than specialized celery purees or celery-based products. The opportunities span multiple product categories including fresh produce, proteins, dairy, canned goods, condiments, and prepared foods, with celery appearing only incidentally as a line item (for example, celery listed among fresh vegetables in school produce bids) rather than as the primary commodity being sourced. The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to its name.

The issuing bodies soliciting under broadly tagged food procurement codes include state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia state agencies), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), and a large suburban school district (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia). The geographic spread covers Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with school nutrition procurement appearing as a dominant use case. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), valued at approximately $1.5 million annually; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (due April 6, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 supply and delivery to 45 schools (due April 27, 2026). Bidders in these procurements typically quote on 50 to 900+ line items, with pricing firm for contract terms and delivery weekly or as scheduled to multiple locations.
