UNSPSC 50482813: Soup celery d'amsterdam purees

The variety of celery known as soup celery d'amsterdam which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482813 Soup celery d'amsterdam purees is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not reflect actual procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a highly specialized European soup ingredient—bears no relationship to the food products and services that state and local governments are actually buying. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve broad consumable food procurement for state facilities, school districts, and county operations: Texas Health and Human Services Commission bids for prepared foods and food service supplies at state supported living centers; Gwinnett County's purchase of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups, canned vegetables) for senior services; Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive school nutrition food bids; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' procurement of canned tomatoes. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, county purchasing offices, and school district nutrition programs. The code itself appears to be a data-entry error or misclassification artifact rather than a meaningful taxonomy category for state and local food procurement.

Recent activity is geographically concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (consumables for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's informal written quote IWQ 140229 (food items for senior services, quotes due October 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (school nutrition food bid, bids due June 15, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026 with 5 percent Oregon-resident preference). The Texas HHSC procurements for state supported living centers and hospitals represent the largest identified opportunities, with one supplemental food contract covering 210 line items and a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. No meaningful signal exists for pursuing opportunities under this specific code; vendors should monitor broader food-service categories and institution-specific RFPs from state facilities, school districts, and county operations instead.
