UNSPSC 50485813: Seaweed purees

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

UNSPSC 50485813 Seaweed purees, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The only posted opportunity directly tagged under this code is a weekly food order from the State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy, RFQ 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) that covers general food products including proteins, dairy, and prepared foods—none of which are seaweed purees or seaweed-derived products. State and local governments soliciting under this code appear to be purchasing general institutional food supplies rather than specialized marine botanical ingredients. The code's nominal scope does not align with the buying patterns visible in current opportunities.

The remaining fourteen recent opportunities in the dataset—from school districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia; correctional systems in Oregon and Texas; health and human services agencies in Texas; and other state entities—all target mainstream food commodities (canned tomatoes, fresh produce, meats, dairy, grains, condiments) for cafeterias, institutional kitchens, and nutrition programs. No solicitation across this mixed issuing-body base references seaweed products, seaweed-derived ingredients, or any related marine botanical procurement. Geographic spread includes Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, but all activity centers on conventional commodity food supply rather than specialty ingredients. The code shows minimal recent procurement signal relevant to vendors in the seaweed ingredient space.
