UNSPSC 50425803: Dried dulse

The variety of sea vegetables known as dulse that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50425803 Dried dulse, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The thirteen most recent opportunities tagged or described under this code solicitation span fresh produce, cafeteria and grocery products, dried beans (pinto and red), beverages, dairy, proteins, grains, prepared entrees, eggs, and general food supply — none specifically for dried dulse or other seaweed products. The single direct match to the nominal code name does not appear in the available recent opportunities block.

State and local governments procuring under commodity food codes — including school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois IVHQ, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia statewide operations), municipal bodies (City of Edinburg, Texas), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts) — are buying dried beans, fresh produce, milk, cheese, proteins, pantry staples, and complete food supply baskets, not specialty seaweed ingredients. The code shows no current market activity for dried dulse in state and local procurement. Firms pursuing this code should confirm whether procurement offices are actually using this UNSPSC assignment or whether dried dulse, if procured at all by public entities, is tagged differently in current systems.
