UNSPSC 50482809: Greensleeves celery purees

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

UNSPSC 50482809 Greensleeves celery purees, a Commodity code, nominally describes a single produce product, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little recent relevance — the most-recent opportunities in the source are tagged under this code yet involve broad consumable food purchases (prepared foods, shelf-stable staples, kitchen supplies, and fresh or canned produce items) that do not center on celery purees specifically. The few records provided do not suggest that celery purees are being actively sourced as a distinct line item; instead, state and local buyers are issuing open food-service RFQs, IFBs, and informal written quotes for institutional meal programs serving state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and senior services. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county school boards (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), primarily in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon.

Recent representative solicitations include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items, bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and produce (quotes due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026, prior purchase $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition supplies across multiple product categories including fresh and frozen produce, dairy, and condiments (bids due June 15, 2026). The code shows limited or misaligned activity relative to its narrow nominal scope; vendors evaluating this code should verify current sourcing patterns with individual jurisdictions rather than assume celery purees are being actively procured as a standalone commodity.
