UNSPSC 50445803: Frozen dulse

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

UNSPSC 50445803 Frozen dulse, a Commodity code, represents a narrow seafood product line that state and local governments rarely buy directly; the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations matching frozen dulse specifically, instead reflecting broader food procurement activity under related commodity codes. State and local purchasing offices do source institutional food products—shelf-stable groceries, proteins, frozen vegetables, dairy, and prepared entrees—through education, corrections, health and human services, and county social-services departments, but frozen dulse does not appear in recent RFQs, RFPs, or IFBs from these issuing bodies. The opportunities posted under adjacent codes (frozen vegetables, mixed groceries, food service supplies) span Gwinnett County, Georgia; Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; Oregon Department of Corrections; Texas Health and Human Services Commission; Texas Department of Criminal Justice; Illinois state agencies; Ben Hill County Schools; Early County Schools; and Burke County Schools, but none reference kelp, seaweed, or dulse.

The code shows no relevant recent activity. No state or local procurement office has posted an opportunity for frozen dulse in the recent-opportunities block. The solicitations that do appear target mainstream commodity foods—canned proteins, rice, pasta, frozen corn, frozen potatoes, meats, dairy, and fresh and frozen vegetables—with response dates ranging from May through October 2026. If frozen dulse is procured by state or local government, it is either bundled into broader food-service line items submitted under parent commodity codes, purchased through cooperative contracts managed at the state level without separate posting, or not acquired by these jurisdictions at all. The code itself does not signal current market demand at the state and local level.
