UNSPSC 50492702: Organic celeriac purees

The variety of organic celery known as organic celeriac which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50492702 Organic celeriac purees (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity captured in recent notices. The source records eleven recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026 under this code, but none solicit organic celeriac purees or celeriac products of any kind. The opportunities instead cover broad food and consumable procurements—canned tomatoes, potatoes, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, kitchen supplies, and prepared entrees—issued by Texas state health and human services agencies, Georgia school districts and county boards, Oregon state corrections, Illinois state agencies, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The code classification appears to be a taxonomy mismatch between what state and local governments are actually buying and how the opportunities have been tagged in the procurement database.

The recent activity under this code shows no evidence of demand for organic celeriac purees specifically. Issuing bodies range from state health departments managing institutional food service for state hospitals and supported living centers, to county and school nutrition programs, to state corrections departments—all categories that purchase shelf-stable and bulk prepared foods at commodity scale. The geographic spread includes Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items with a potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years, Ben Hill County Schools' June 2026 school nutrition food bid across multiple categories, and the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes. None of these solicitations reference celeriac, celeriac purees, or organic vegetable purées as line items or requirements. This code warrants investigation to confirm whether the tagging is systematic or isolated.
