UNSPSC 50485806: Irish moss purees

The variety of sea vegetables known as irish moss which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485806 Irish moss purees is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity under this specific classification. State and local governments procuring food products for institutional food service operations—state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and other public agencies—have issued solicitations for shelf-stable and prepared foods, but none of the recent opportunities explicitly name Irish moss purees as a line item. The recent procurements in the block target broad categories of consumable food products: proteins, dairy, frozen specialty items, canned vegetables and fruits, condiments, and prepared foods such as french fries, chicken wings, and burritos. The institutional food service buyers issuing these solicitations include state health and human services commissions, correctional departments, school nutrition programs, and county social services agencies.

The recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state supported living centers and state hospitals statewide—including HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with historical value of $1.5 million annually) and HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procuring through the Comptroller's office, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (response deadline May 4, 2026). In Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools each issued comprehensive food bids in May and June 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted for specific commodity lines including canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026). No recent solicitation names Irish moss purees explicitly, suggesting either that the code is misapplied to this category in state and local procurement systems or that this ingredient does not appear as a standalone line item in current institutional food service purchasing.
