UNSPSC 50415809: Organic nori

The variety of organic sea vegetables known as organic nori

UNSPSC 50415809 Organic nori is a Commodity code representing specialty seaweed products procured by state and local governments primarily for institutional food service. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code, however, show minimal direct alignment with organic nori as a standalone procurement category. The three substantive opportunities—food services at Collier County parks, produce procurement through Marion Health Care Coalition, and food and kitchen supplies bids through the State of Georgia and Early County Board of Education—encompass broad food-service categories (fresh produce, general food supplies, complete meal programs) rather than targeted purchases of nori or other specialty seaweed items. The Early County Board of Education bid, the most detailed of the group, specifies approximately 300 food items across meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, but does not isolate seaweed or nori as a line item. State and local issuing bodies under this code tier include county boards of education, county parks and recreation divisions, county boards of commissioners, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices.

Activity appears concentrated in Georgia (Early County Board of Education, State of Georgia procurement) and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), with the Early County school-lunch bid (due June 8, 2026) and the Collier County concession-services ITN (due March 6, 2025) as representative recent solicitations. The Marion Health Care Coalition produce bid (due August 21, 2026) and the State of Georgia food-supplies bid (due June 22, 2026) round out the recent posting mix. Given the breadth of those general food-procurement categories and the absence of nori or specialty seaweed as a named line item, the code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code may serve primarily as a catch-all taxonomy placeholder for specialty food items within larger institutional food-service solicitations rather than a driver of dedicated seaweed-product opportunities.
