UNSPSC 50492712: Organic lathom self-blanching celery purees

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

UNSPSC 50492712 Organic lathom self-blanching celery purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific produce product — organic celery purees — but the recent opportunities under this code show little or no activity actually matching that scope. The most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code instead focus on broad food and consumable procurement for state institutions, school districts, and correctional facilities, spanning proteins, frozen items, dairy, grains, canned goods, and food service supplies rather than celery purees or organic produce derivatives. The issuing bodies include Texas state health and human services agencies, Georgia and Oregon counties and state departments, Illinois state procurement, and multiple school districts in Georgia, indicating a mix of state departments, counties, school nutrition programs, and special-purpose districts. Because the recent opportunities do not align with the celery-puree nominal category, the code signals either a misclassification pattern in how state and local procurement offices are tagging food contracts or minimal actual procurement activity under this specific commodity line.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods (prepared foods and food service supplies) at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups) delivered to Gwinnett Senior Services Center, due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (USDA Grade B or better, delivered to Salem), due June 19, 2026 with prior purchase history at $13.75 per case; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school nutrition food products across four school locations, due June 15, 2026. The code shows recent activity but does not reliably track procurement under its stated commodity definition.
