UNSPSC 50475812: Canned or jarred organic sea lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50475812 Canned or jarred organic sea lettuce is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, maps poorly to actual procurement activity under the code. Recent opportunities posted under this code by Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Illinois, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the State of Georgia solicit broad consumable food products — canned tomatoes, shelf-stable proteins, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, condiments, grains, kitchen supplies, and food service equipment — rather than organic sea lettuce specifically. The issuing bodies span state health agencies (HHSC, DSHS), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett, Ben Hill), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), state correctional systems (ODOC, TDCJ), and state nutrition programs. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables and prepared foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County's informal written quote IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (USDA Grade B or better) due June 19, 2026 with delivery to Salem.

Activity clusters in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. Texas agencies (HHSC, TDCJ, and the Comptroller's office) have posted multiple food procurement notices since May 2026 covering state supported living centers, correctional facilities, and statewide health programs. Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools) and Gwinnett County have solicited comprehensive food bids for cafeteria and senior services operations in May and October 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections and State of Illinois have posted narrower commodity procurements. Notably, none of the recent opportunities reference organic sea lettuce as a line item or specification; the code's nominal scope does not align with the broad food-supply and food-service contracting activity currently posted under it in state and local systems.
