UNSPSC 50455809: Frozen organic nori

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

UNSPSC 50455809 Frozen organic nori, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains nine recent school district and state agency food-service solicitations posted between January and May 2026, encompassing fresh produce, grocery items, frozen foods, eggs, spices, ice cream, and main-line food distribution — but none reference frozen organic nori or seaweed products of any kind. The code's nominal scope (frozen seaweed used in food service) diverges significantly from what state and local governments are actually buying under the broader food-procurement categories these agencies tag, which center on conventional produce, proteins, grains, dairy, and prepared items for school nutrition and institutional feeding programs.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Missouri school districts and state purchasing offices. The Douglas County School System in Georgia posted two major RFPs in January and February 2026 for fresh produce and eggs (estimated $4.4 million for Area One alone) and main-line food distribution (estimated $9 million annually); the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System sought fresh produce through April 2026; the City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026; the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items with a deadline of April 29, 2026; and Dallas Independent School District in Texas issued an RFP for various food products due April 2, 2026. The State of Georgia posted separate solicitations for food supplies and fresh produce in April and May 2026. These opportunities emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, firm pricing, and domestic sourcing preferences, but specialty items like frozen organic nori do not surface in any of the documented solicitations. The code shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement signal.
