UNSPSC 50492700: Organic celery purees

The type of organic vegetable known as organic celery which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50492700 Organic celery purees, Class code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span fresh and canned produce procurement (canned tomatoes, potatoes, mixed shelf-stable foods), prepared foods and food service supplies for institutional dining (state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs), and consumable kitchen items — none of which correspond to organic celery purees specifically. State purchasing offices appear to be applying this code broadly to general food procurement rather than to a discrete product line, creating category-level mismatch between code definition and actual buying patterns.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are primarily state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois IVHQ), county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and school districts across the Southeast and Texas. Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with individual solicitations ranging from school district food bids to statewide institutional-dining contracts valued at $1.5 million to $4.5 million over multi-year terms. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due Oct 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods (due Oct 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case from the prior February 2026 purchase (due Jun 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB for comprehensive food and supplies (due Jun 15, 2026). Given the absence of organic celery puree specifications in any posted opportunity, vendors pursuing this code should clarify with procurement offices whether the code is being used as a catchall for food-category procurement or whether future demand for the specific product exists.
