UNSPSC 50465803: Canned or jarred dulse

The variety of sea vegetables known as dulse that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50465803 Canned or jarred dulse, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity tied directly to its narrow product scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly naming dulse or other macroalgae products; instead, state and local food service buyers—school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies—are soliciting across broader canned and fresh food categories that do not specifically include dulse. The code does not match the work actually being bought in the identified recent opportunities.

State and local governments buying under related food commodity codes are purchasing canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, proteins, and prepared entrees in substantial volumes through school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Ben Hill County Schools, Douglas County School System), corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). Issuing bodies span states including Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs and state facility food service representing the most active segments. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026 (S2910000017145), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables due July 13, 2026 (HHS0017449), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB for Master Grocery K-12 due April 27, 2026 (2000004323). No recent opportunities directly reference canned or jarred dulse procurement, indicating the code captures a niche product with limited current state and local buying activity.
