UNSPSC 50435812: Dried organic sea lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50435812 Dried organic sea lettuce, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct procurement activity in state and local government. The single representative opportunity explicitly tagged to this code—the City of Edinburg, Texas, CACFP Meal Program RFP posted July 16, 2026, with a response deadline of August 4, 2026—references dried organic sea lettuce only in passing as one item among five broader supply categories (beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood products) required to serve approximately 400 children daily. The scope encompasses proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, vegetables, snacks, and associated meal-service supplies; dried sea lettuce does not appear to be a primary procurement focus. School districts and municipal child nutrition programs represent the likely issuing body type when this code is solicited, though the recent-opportunities block offers no evidence of repeat buying patterns or multiple jurisdictions specifically seeking dried organic sea lettuce.

The geographic footprint is limited. The Edinburg solicitation is the only state or local procurement tagged with this code in the recent record. The broader state and local food procurement market—evidenced by dozens of recent solicitations from Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia school districts and state agencies—focuses on mainstream grocery items (fresh produce, proteins, grains, dairy, beverages) and general food-service supplies rather than specialty items like dried sea lettuce. Unless issuing bodies are tagging procurement opportunities with this code when dried sea lettuce is a minor line item among hundreds of others, this code shows little active demand in state and local contracting. Business development professionals should monitor the code for emerging child nutrition or institutional food-service contracts but should not expect sustained high-volume opportunity flow under this narrowly defined commodity classification.
