UNSPSC 50485807: Kelp purees

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

UNSPSC 50485807 Kelp purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—kelp-based food products—does not align with the opportunities in the dataset, which focus exclusively on broad food supply contracts for corrections facilities, schools, health and human services agencies, and veterans homes. These solicitations emphasize staple groceries (proteins, produce, dairy, grains, canned goods), prepared foods, and consumable supplies rather than specialty seaweed-derived ingredients or purees. The issuing bodies are diverse—state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), school districts (Ben Hill County, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Burke County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), and state-supported living centers—but none have solicited kelp purees or products matching this code's definition.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri based on recent postings, but the opportunities represent general food procurement rather than specialty commodity supply. Representative recent solicitations include Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at state supported living centers (due Jul 13, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school nutrition food products (due Jun 15, 2026), and Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned tomatoes (due Jun 19, 2026)—none of which reference kelp or seaweed-based ingredients. The code shows no targeted market activity and warrants monitoring rather than active pursuit unless your firm has existing relationships with institutional food service distributors or state procurement offices seeking specialty ingredients for dietary or sustainability initiatives.
