UNSPSC 50492706 Organic giant red celery purees is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a far broader range of food products and consumable supplies than the code name suggests. State and local governments solicit under this code for cafeteria and institutional food service needs, including fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared proteins; vegetables; dairy products; grains; condiments; and food service supplies such as containers, napkins, and gloves. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments operating state supported living centers and psychiatric hospitals, departments of corrections, school districts across multiple states, and individual county nutrition programs. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and its affiliated state hospitals and living centers appear as repeat buyers, posting multiple solicitations within the recent window. School districts in Georgia also account for significant activity, with multiple districts soliciting comprehensive nutrition contracts for their respective nutrition programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional procurement from Illinois and smaller jurisdictions. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (bids due July 11, 2026), which covered 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and refrigerated foods and supplies with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school nutrition food products across four school locations (bids due June 15, 2026), comprising hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, and supplies with Buy American Act requirements; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' procurement for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences at 5 percent. Texas and Georgia school districts regularly post nutrition food bids with contract periods beginning July 1 and running through June 30, typically with options to extend or renew. Contracts are commonly solicited as comprehensive procurements awarded to single or multiple vendors, with pricing on firm, fixed unit rates and delivery within 7 to 30 days of order receipt on F.O.B.
