UNSPSC 50435809: Dried organic nori

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

UNSPSC 50435809 Dried organic nori, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The most-recent-opportunities block contains six solicitations, but none request nori or other seaweed products; instead, they document demand for dried beans (kidney, pinto, red, and black), CACFP meal program supplies, and institutional cafeteria food products across corrections, education, and child nutrition programs. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual goods being solicited suggests either a categorization error in the state and local procurement system or that this Commodity code does not reflect current buying patterns in the jurisdictions tracked.

The bean and food-service solicitations in the block span Georgia Correctional Industries (kidney beans, RFQ, October 9, 2026 response date), Oregon Department of Corrections (approximately 42,500 pounds of pinto and red beans, 10% Oregon preference applied, June 19, 2026 response date), the City of Edinburg, Texas (CACFP meal supplies for 400 children, RFP, August 4, 2026 response date), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division (382 line items of cafeteria food products, IFB, extended response date of May 4, 2026). Issuing bodies span correctional agencies, municipal governments, and food-service programs. Without recent nori-specific solicitations, pursuing this code would not be warranted unless dry seaweed appears in future institutional food-service procurements.
