UNSPSC 50415802: Organic arame

The variety of organic sea vegetables known as organic arame

UNSPSC 50415802 Organic arame, a Commodity code, covers specialized food ingredients typically stocked by institutional food services. Recent state and local solicitations show this code capturing broader fresh produce and food-service supply procurement rather than organic arame specifically. Issuing bodies include county recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, state purchasing offices, and school districts. The scope of work spans fresh fruits and vegetables, specialty produce items, pantry staples, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods—all sourced to support cafeteria operations, institutional meal programs, concession facilities, and food-service venues. Vendors supplying under this code must meet food-safety standards including HACCP compliance, provide product freshness guarantees, maintain cold-chain logistics, and often comply with domestic-sourcing or local-vendor preferences where applicable. School districts and county recreation departments emphasize whole-grain formulations, low-sodium options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives when purchasing through this code.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Georgia, and other states. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) in October 2026 (due March 6, 2025) for food and beverage concession services at North Collier Regional Park, applying a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points and prioritizing menu variety and food-safety compliance. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce-vendor RFQ in August 2026 (due August 21, 2026) for fresh fruits and vegetables meeting quality and delivery standards across the 2026-2027 fiscal period. The State of Georgia posted a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products in May 2026 (due June 22, 2026). Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued a line-by-line food bid in May 2026 (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole grains, low sodium, and no added sugars, delivering Monday through Friday to three schools with firm pricing for 15 days from award and six-month escalation provisions tied to USDA or CPI data.
