UNSPSC 50485814: Spirulina purees

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

UNSPSC 50485814 Spirulina purees (Commodity) does not appear in state and local procurement activity over the past four months. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for spirulina purees or related algae-based products; instead, it documents bids for conventional shelf-stable and fresh food products (canned tomatoes, potatoes, frozen proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and fresh produce) issued by state departments, county purchasing offices, school districts, and correctional facilities. The code's nominal scope—a highly specialized functional food ingredient—diverges markedly from the mainstream institutional food procurement that dominates current state and local sourcing in the food category.

State and local governments buying under food-related UNSPSC codes are primarily sourcing bulk consumables for cafeterias, canteens, food service supply, and institutional feeding programs. The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block span Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple state-supported living centers and state hospitals), Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Comptroller of Public Accounts). Representative recent activity includes Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable products due October 19, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for consumables and food service supplies for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of USDA Grade B or better canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with a prior award at $13.75 per case. School district nutrition procurement is also active, with Burke County Public Schools and Ben Hill County Schools each issuing competitive food bids for the 2026-2027 school year that encompass nearly 400 line items across fresh, frozen, and dry categories with firm pricing for 30 days followed by six-month adjustment windows. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with broader representation across state departments and local education agencies nationwide.
