UNSPSC 50425805: Dried hijiki

The variety of sea vegetables known as hijiki that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50425805 Dried hijiki (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local solicitation activity under this code. The taxonomy name references a specific seaweed product, but the most recent opportunities posted under this code procure dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans — for institutional food service at correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state agency dining operations. No recent solicitations for hijiki or other seaweed products appear in the available records.

State and local procurement under this code spans correctional departments, state agencies, and school districts across Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Georgia Correctional Industries dominate recent activity, with additional solicitations from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the City of Edinburg (Texas) Boys & Girls Club food program, and the State of Illinois.
