UNSPSC 50482810 Hopkins fenlander celery purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show no purchases of celery purees or related produce items. Instead, the opportunities document broad food and consumable procurements for state agencies, county governments, and school districts—comprehensive cafeteria, canteen, and food-service supply contracts covering proteins, frozen and fresh produce, dairy, grains, condiments, and food-service supplies. The code's nominal scope diverges substantially from what state and local governments are actually buying under it.

The issuing-body mix spans state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia and Ben Hill County, Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), and state departments (Illinois, Georgia, Oregon). Texas HHS appears as a repeat buyer across multiple food and consumables contracts for state supported living centers and hospitals. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, prior-period value $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, at $13.75 per case in the prior purchase), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive school nutrition food products (due June 15, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools' school nutrition food bid across five facilities (due June 5, 2026). These solicitations call for sealed bids or informal written quotes with response windows of one to four weeks and delivery typically within seven days to 30 days of order receipt on FOB Destination terms. The code shows material recent activity, but the mismatch between the code name and the actual scope of work being purchased suggests misclassification at the point of posting.
