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, represents a narrow product category within state and local food procurement — specifically preserved seaweed products — but the recent-opportunities record shows little relevant activity under this code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code track instead general food supply, consumables, and kitchen-product procurements that span hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, pantry staples, and food service supplies. The issuing bodies are diverse: state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, with active solicitations for state-supported living centers and state hospitals), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and state-level procurement offices (State of Georgia, State of Illinois). Texas agencies and Georgia school districts and county bodies are the most active issuers in the recent record. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit canned or jarred dulse as a line item; the code appears to have been applied as a catch-all for food procurement categories rather than reflecting actual procurement of this specific commodity.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on the recent posting record. Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted three solicitations (August, June, and October 2026) for consumables and food products across multiple facilities; Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted a cafeteria food products IFB in May 2026. Gwinnett County, Georgia posted an informal written quote for shelf-stable food items in October 2026 (due October 19, 2026), and Burke County and Ben Hill County school districts in Georgia posted food bids in May and June 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned tomatoes IFB in June 2026 (due June 19, 2026). The State of Illinois posted a quarterly weekly food order solicitation in June 2026. Because the code's nominal scope (canned or jarred dulse) does not match the actual work being bought in these solicitations, the code shows little meaningful recent activity aligned to its product definition. Vendors pursuing state and local food procurement should monitor the broader food-supply and consumables codes rather than this one.
