UNSPSC 50435816: Dried organic wakame

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

UNSPSC 50435816 Dried organic wakame, a Commodity code, has generated minimal recent state and local procurement activity that aligns with the code's scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show little actual procurement of dried wakame or seaweed products; instead, the records predominantly document solicitations for broad food and supply categories spanning proteins, dairy, grains, produce, beverages, and kitchen staples across child nutrition programs, school districts, and corrections facilities. The mismatch between the code's narrow focus on dried organic wakame and the wide-ranging food procurement reflected in recent opportunities suggests either misclassification in the issuing bodies' tagging systems or that wakame itself does not appear as a line item in current state and local food service contracting.

The issuing bodies in the dataset include state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state procurement divisions (Illinois, Georgia), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia), and municipalities (City of Edinburg, Texas). Geographic activity spans Texas, Virginia, Missouri, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with school nutrition and corrections food service representing the dominant procurement categories. Representative recent opportunities include the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covering weekly food delivery to 45 schools; the Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items solicitation (due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items; and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) with estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One. No recent solicitations identify dried wakame or seaweed products as a line item, indicating the code shows little actionable procurement activity under its nominal scope in the current market.
