UNSPSC 50415805: Organic hijiki

The variety of organic sea vegetables known as organic hijiki

UNSPSC 50415805 Organic hijiki, a Commodity code, nominally covers specialty seaweed products, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little activity aligned with that scope. The four most recent postings span food-service concessions at county parks, general produce procurement, statewide kitchen supplies and food, and school district meal programs — none of which specifically solicit hijiki or seaweed products. State and local buying under this code appears sparse and misfiled; the opportunities that do carry the tag are broad food and beverage procurement (fresh fruits and vegetables, complete food-service supply lines for schools and institutional kitchens, and commercial concession operations) rather than the narrow specialty category the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities include Collier County Board of County Commissioners (parks concessions), Marion Health Care Coalition (produce), the State of Georgia (kitchen supplies), and Early County Board of Education (school meal program). Geographic activity is limited to Georgia and Florida in the recent record. The only fully detailed recent opportunity is the Early County Board of Education FY27 food bid due June 8, 2026 (IFB), which sought line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items spanning meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments across three schools under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. A second opportunity was Collier County's March 6, 2025 Invitation to Negotiate for North Collier Regional Park food-concession services, which required menu variety, food-safety compliance, and a three-year term with local-vendor preference worth ten evaluation points. The thin recent record and categorical mismatch between code intent and actual buys suggest this code sees minimal state and local procurement activity in organic hijiki or related specialty products.
