UNSPSC 50425810: Dried red algae

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

UNSPSC 50425810 Dried red algae, a Commodity code, receives minimal relevant activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting dried red algae; the code does not map to the actual work being procured in the source materials.

The fourteen most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code instead solicit mainstream food and grocery items—fresh produce (apples, bananas, vegetables), dried legumes (pinto and red beans), proteins (beef, chicken, fish), dairy, grains, and associated food service supplies for school districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon. The mismatch between code nomenclature and actual procurement is stark: none of the visible recent RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs name dried red algae as a line item or product category. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate solicitations (S2910000016233 in March 2026 and S2910000017140 in June 2026) for dried pinto and red beans, and school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas have issued broad grocery and produce RFPs that enumerate dozens of specific items, yet seaweed or algae products do not appear in any specification list. This code shows no actionable recent market signal for vendors supplying dried red algae to state and local buyers.
