UNSPSC 50475803: Canned or jarred organic dulse

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

UNSPSC 50475803 Canned or jarred organic dulse, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent procurement activity aligned with its specific scope. State and local governments do not appear to be buying organic dulse under this code; recent opportunities tagged with the code involve broad food procurement for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers, where the actual buys span canned tomatoes, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, prepared entrees, and general grocery items with no mention of seaweed or marine plant products. The issuing bodies are school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Burke County), state departments of corrections and health and human services (Oregon DOC, Texas HHSC, Georgia state facilities), and state veterans' homes. The geographic spread covers Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with school districts and state institutional food service being the dominant buyer types.

The representative recent solicitations under codes in this family are school nutrition RFPs and state facility IFBs for comprehensive food supply: Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and distribution kitchens with bid due April 27, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026; and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items and Net Off Invoice products with bids due April 29, 2026. None of these opportunities identify organic dulse or seaweed-based products as line items. The code appears to be a taxonomy misalignment rather than a genuine category for state and local procurement activity in this sector.
