UNSPSC 50482812: Lathom self-blanching celery purees

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

UNSPSC 50482812 Lathom self-blanching celery purees is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under this specific designation. The recent opportunities posted under this code span fresh and frozen produce, canned tomatoes, eggs, comprehensive grocery procurement for school nutrition and institutional food service, and supplemental food and consumables for state facilities—none of which match the narrow scope of celery purees or Lathom-branded products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitation content suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the commodity operates outside typical state and local procurement channels.

State and local issuing bodies active in the broader fresh produce and food categories—school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Burke County in Georgia, Fairfax County in Virginia, Muscogee County in Georgia, Liberty County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham in Georgia, and Douglas County in Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon), state health and human services commissions (Texas), and state nutrition programs (Illinois Veterans Home)—procure food items through RFQs, IFBs, and RFPs with response dates spanning February through June 2026. Texas HHSC, ODOC in Oregon, and Georgia school districts represent repeat buyers. Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia and Texas, with additional activity in Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response date July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned tomatoes solicitation S2910000017145 (due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 AM PST for 7,616 cases), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition food products (due June 15, 2026). The code does not support identification of active demand for the specific product named—Lathom self-blanching celery purees—at the state and local level.
