UNSPSC 50495710: Organic red alga purees

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

UNSPSC 50495710 Organic red alga purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure food service products under this code, but the recent opportunities on record show no demand for organic red alga purees specifically. Instead, the code tags a broad range of institutional food-service solicitations—fresh and frozen proteins, produce, dairy, canned vegetables, condiments, and food-service supplies—issued by state agencies, county governments, school districts, and correctional facilities. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Oregon Department of Corrections appear repeatedly; school nutrition programs in Georgia and Texas also solicit regularly under this family. The scope encompasses weekly and quarterly food orders for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school cafeterias, and senior services programs, with quantities ranging from single cases to thousands of cases annually and delivery windows from same-day to 30 days post-order.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas HHSC issued multiple IFBs for consumables and supplemental food products—notably HHS0016792v2 (210 line items, maximum value $4.5 million over three years) and HHS0017449 (historical value $1.5 million annually) for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide—with response deadlines in May and June 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, June 2026, prior purchase $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest) with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences applied. Georgia school districts issued food bids: Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, June 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (PE55037NONST2027000000007, June 2026, nearly 400 line items across five schools). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited shelf-stable products under IWQ 140229 (October 2026, due October 19, 2026) for senior services. The code shows no meaningful recent activity aligned to organic red alga purees; the mismatch suggests miscategorization of these broad food-service opportunities within the taxonomy.
