UNSPSC 50485815: Susabi nori purees

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

UNSPSC 50485815 Susabi nori purees is a Commodity code covering a specific seaweed product, yet the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevance to the nominal scope. The most recent opportunities tagged with this code involve general food service procurement for institutional settings — state correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, school districts, and veterans' homes — with emphasis on mainstream staple foods, produce, dairy, proteins, and consumable supplies. The code does not appear in the sourced opportunities as a primary or targeted procurement item; instead, opportunities are broadly categorized under general food service codes (NIGP 380, 385, 390, 393) covering food and consumables for institutional meal service.

Issuing bodies soliciting food service contracts under broader institutional food codes include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), health and human services commissions (Texas), school districts (Illinois, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia), and county or municipal school systems across multiple states. Recent opportunities span Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs representing the largest cluster of recent activity. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply state supported living centers statewide under fixed-unit pricing with CPI-linked adjustments; the Oregon Department of Corrections bid (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better with a 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders; and the Ben Hill County Schools food bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) covering fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and kitchen supplies with Buy American Act compliance required. The code shows little activity specifically targeting susabi nori purees or seaweed-based products in state and local procurement.
