UNSPSC 50435805: Dried organic hijiki

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

UNSPSC 50435805 Dried organic hijiki, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The sourced opportunities show state and local governments purchasing institutional dried beans—kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans—for correctional facilities, child-care meal programs, and educational institutions, along with broader food-service categories including proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments for cafeteria and detention operations. None of the recent solicitations involve hijiki or other seaweed products; the code appears to be a tagging mismatch rather than reflecting actual procurement under this Commodity.

Recent opportunities originate from Georgia Correctional Industries (kidney beans, IFB, due October 9, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections (approximately 42,500 pounds of pinto and red beans, due June 19, 2026), the State of Georgia (dried black beans, due August 21, 2026), the City of Edinburg, Texas (Child and Adult Care Food Program meal items including proteins, dairy, and staples, RFP, due August 4, 2026), the State of Illinois (weekly food orders, due June 26, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic areas, IFB, due May 4, 2026). Activity spans Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. Vendors pursuing this code should treat the recent opportunities as a signal that actual state and local buying under UNSPSC 50435805 does not match the code definition; dried beans and broader food-service procurement dominate, but no hijiki or specialty seaweed sourcing appears in the current pipeline.
