Recent opportunities tagged to this code cover broad institutional food procurement — fresh produce, frozen proteins, dairy, canned goods, condiments, and food service supplies — rather than celery purees specifically. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code span state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois), county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), state correctional systems (Oregon Department of Corrections), and state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies. The mix reflects institutional food service for state-supported living centers, prisons, school nutrition programs, and public employee cafeterias.

Recent opportunities show activity across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables (prepared foods, supplies, and containers) at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with responses due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces) due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026 with a 5% preference for Oregon-fabricated goods; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive school nutrition procurement across multiple food categories due June 15, 2026. Texas and Georgia school districts and state agencies represent the heaviest concentration of recent activity. The code shows substantial ongoing procurement volume but limited direct relevance to celery purees as a distinct commodity line.
