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, is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to the code's specific scope. The source contains no recent opportunities soliciting dried organic hijiki or seaweed products; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader food-service procurement across produce, dried legumes, and general grocery supply categories that fall outside the code's narrow definition. The City of Edinburg, Texas (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) solicits food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service serving approximately 400 children daily, with scope spanning beverages, paper goods, proteins, breads, fruits, vegetables, and snacks — none specifically dried organic hijiki. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ITB S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026, and ITB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) procures dried pinto and red beans in bulk quantities measured in tens of thousands of pounds, a related dried-legume category but not seaweed. The State of Illinois (solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) and State of Georgia (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) solicit broader food-supply categories; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026) procures approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments for multiple warehouse locations.

State and local school districts and corrections agencies dominate the recent opportunities tagged to this code, with Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (bid due April 29, 2026), Muscogee County School District in Georgia (ITB 26-017, due April 27, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System in Georgia (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026; RFP SN 26-003, due February 18, 2026) all soliciting fresh produce, eggs, and general grocery items for school nutrition programs. Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Oregon; no recent opportunities in other states appear in the source. The code's narrow commodity definition — dried organic hijiki specifically — does not align with the broader food-supply and produce procurement documented in the recent opportunities block, suggesting either a tagging mismatch or that state and local buyers do not procure this product category through formal solicitations at the volume captured here.
