UNSPSC 50445813: Frozen seaweeds

The variety of sea vegetables known as seaweeds that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50445813 Frozen seaweeds, a Commodity code, shows no recent relevant activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally covers frozen seaweed products for culinary or nutritional use, but the recent opportunities block contains only food procurement solicitations for conventional grocery items—proteins, vegetables, cereals, dairy, and paper products supplied to correctional facilities, state hospitals, school nutrition programs, and social services agencies. None of the posted solicitations reference seaweed or marine vegetable products, and the opportunities listed (frozen corn, frozen potato products, frozen mixed vegetables, and assorted frozen vegetable blends) fall within overlapping UNSPSC codes for mainstream frozen vegetables rather than this specialized commodity. The code appears dormant for state and local procurement purposes as of late 2026.

State and local buyers procuring frozen produce and specialty food items rely instead on broader frozen-vegetable and food-supply codes that capture the majority of institutional food purchasing. The issuing bodies active in this space—state departments of corrections and human services, county food programs, and school nutrition departments across Georgia, Pennsylvania, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, and New Jersey—have no documented demand for frozen seaweed under this Commodity code. Unless your firm supplies seaweed products to institutional food service channels, this code warrants only periodic monitoring for signal changes rather than active pursuit.
