UNSPSC 50415800: Organic sea vegetables

The type of organic vegetable known as organic sea vegetables

UNSPSC 50415800 Organic sea vegetables is a Class code that names a specific food commodity, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not solicit organic sea vegetables specifically. Instead, the tagged opportunities cover broad food-service and produce procurement — park concession food and beverage operations, fresh produce delivery for healthcare, statewide food supplies and kitchen products, and school-district food and non-food items under the National School Lunch Program. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source data or use of this code as a catch-all for food-related purchasing. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include counties (Collier County, Florida), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), state agencies (Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education).

Geographic activity spans Florida, Georgia, and at least one health-care-based jurisdiction. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County's Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (response due March 6, 2025), Marion Health Care Coalition's produce-vendor RFQ (due August 21, 2026), the State of Georgia's statewide food, supplies, and kitchen-products IFB (due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food and non-food bid for school meals (due June 8, 2026). The school-district bid reflects typical scope depth: 300+ food items spanning meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments, plus 60+ non-food and paper items, with domestic-sourcing preferences, whole-grain emphasis, low-sodium formulations, and USDA compliance required. Given the code's nominal scope and the actual diversity of food-service work being tagged to it, the code as currently used does not reliably signal organic sea-vegetable procurement opportunities in state and local markets.
