UNSPSC 50482808: Golden self-blanching celery purees

The variety of celery known as golden self-blanching celery which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482808 Golden self-blanching celery purees is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—ranging from comprehensive food-service procurement for state supported living centers and corrections facilities to school nutrition programs and county senior services—encompass shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, dairy, frozen specialty items, and consumable kitchen supplies, but do not include celery purees or celery-based products as a specified line item in any of the seven solicitations reviewed. The code's nominal scope (a specialized produce puree) diverges materially from the actual buying pattern, which centers on bulk institutional foodstuffs for public facilities and schools across multiple categories.

Activity under this code shows no relevant recent opportunities. State and local procurement activity in the food-supply space is robust and geographically distributed across Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), and Illinois (State of Illinois), with issuance bodies spanning corrections departments, health and human services agencies, school districts, and counties. Representative recent procurements include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (October 23, 2026 response deadline) for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center covering prepared foods and food service supplies, the Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 (October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF (May 4, 2026) for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations. Code 50482808 does not reflect current purchasing under any of these solicitations and warrants deprioritization pending clarification of tagging practices in source data.
