UNSPSC 50475802: Canned or jarred organic arame

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

UNSPSC 50475802 Canned or jarred organic arame, a Commodity code, sees no recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The source records fourteen opportunities posted since late January 2026—covering canned tomatoes, tomato paste, fresh produce, school nutrition groceries, and institutional food service—but none involve arame or other seaweed products. The code's narrow scope (organic arame specifically) does not match the institutional and school food service procurement pattern dominating the recent record, which centers on mainstream staple proteins, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and prepared items for correctional facilities, state health agencies, and K–12 nutrition programs.

State and local buyers soliciting under related food commodity codes are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Ben Hill County Schools), correctional and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state agencies (State of Illinois, State of Georgia). Geographic activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually, the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring 76 items across 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, and the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato procurement (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case historically. The absence of arame solicitations suggests either minimal demand for organic seaweed products in state and local food service or misclassification of opportunities under this code.
