UNSPSC 50475814: Canned or jarred organic spirulina

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

UNSPSC 50475814 Canned or jarred organic spirulina is a Commodity code; state and local governments buy this product primarily as a specialty ingredient or nutritional supplement component for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities block contains no direct solicitations for organic spirulina itself. The code sees activity across school districts, state correctional and health facilities, and state departments procuring food products, with schools representing the largest segment of buyers through nutrition programs serving K-12 populations. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Burke County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Ben Hill County Schools), followed by state agencies operating correctional facilities and health and human services institutions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois). Repeat procurement occurs across multiple school districts on annual cycles, with contracts typically running July through June to align with the school year.

The geographic spread reflects activity concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, with five school districts posting in March–April 2026), Texas (state agencies with statewide scope), Oregon (state corrections), Illinois (state veterans facilities), Missouri (school district), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive food products including fresh and frozen produce, meats, dairy, and condiments for four school locations (due June 15, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) to supply 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens, and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One (due March 4, 2026). While UNSPSC 50475814 itself does not appear in any of the named recent opportunities, the code sits within a broader family of food commodity procurement; state and local buyers under related codes are actively purchasing canned vegetables, produce, dairy, proteins, and specialty food items through IFB and RFP notices. The code shows little direct recent activity and may warrant confirmation of proper code assignment when pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
