UNSPSC 50495707: Organic kelp purees

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

UNSPSC 50495707 Organic kelp purees is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The most-recent-state-local-contract-opportunities block contains eleven posted solicitations spanning June 2026 through October 2026, covering consumable foods for state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, county community services, state corrections facilities, and state health systems. None of these opportunities explicitly reference kelp, kelp purees, seaweed products, or any marine-sourced ingredient. The solicitations focus on conventional food categories: prepared foods and proteins (chicken wings, beef brisket, fish portions), frozen vegetables, canned fruits and vegetables, dairy, grains, condiments, and food service supplies. While some opportunities use broad language such as "food and consumable products" or "approved equivalent" substitution clauses, the posted line items and historical pricing do not suggest kelp or kelp-derived products are being procured under this code by state and local governments at this time.

The code shows no recent geographic concentration or issuing-body pattern relevant to kelp purees procurement. Recent food-service activity is distributed across Texas (Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, State of Georgia), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Illinois, driven by institutional food-service operations at correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and community-service programs. If kelp purees are sourced for any of these entities, they would likely appear as line items within a broader consumables RFP, RFQ, or IFB; the absence of such references across this sample suggests either minimal current demand or miscoding at the point of solicitation posting.
