UNSPSC 50415800: Organic sea vegetables

The type of organic vegetable known as organic sea vegetables

UNSPSC 50415800 Organic sea vegetables, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code's nominal scope covers seaweed and algae-based food products, but the seventeen opportunities in the source dataset solicited fresh produce (apples, bananas, lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, berries, peppers, and eggs), prepared produce items, and beverages for school nutrition programs and state operations—commodities that fall outside the organic sea vegetables category. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or a drift in how jurisdictions apply this code.

School districts dominate the recent activity, with twelve of the seventeen opportunities posted by K–12 nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Florida, and Utah. The State of Georgia and early County Board of Education each issued multiple solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) issuing RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 127 schools (response due May 7, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) soliciting fresh fruit and vegetable distribution for eighteen elementary schools under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (response due March 11, 2026); and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) procuring fresh produce and eggs for thirty districts through a cooperative purchasing vehicle (response due March 4, 2026). Geographic activity is heavily concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with additional activity in Florida, Missouri, and Utah. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30, include annual quantities ranging from hundreds to thousands of cases per item, require HACCP certification and Buy American compliance, and specify delivery to school locations multiple times weekly between 6:00 AM and 2:30 PM. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the actual goods being procured, this code shows little relevant recent activity for business development targeting genuine organic sea vegetable opportunities.
