UNSPSC 50455813: Frozen organic seaweeds

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

UNSPSC 50455813 Frozen organic seaweeds (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this commodity code solicit mainstream food service products—fresh produce, eggs, frozen and grocery items, spices, ice cream, and dairy—for school nutrition programs and state operations, not frozen organic seaweed. The code shows no relevant recent activity; the mismatch suggests either miscategorization by issuing bodies or dormant demand for the specific commodity.

School districts and state agencies in Georgia, Missouri, and Texas are the primary solicitors in the dataset, issuing RFPs and IFBs for annual food service contracts under school lunch and breakfast programs and general state food procurement. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), and the State of Georgia itself have posted contracts ranging from approximately $4.4 million to $9 million annually. Representative recent opportunities include Douglas County School System's RFP SN26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with an estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million combined (due March 4, 2026), and Dallas ISD's RFP for various food products for child nutrition services (due April 2, 2026). Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, require firm pricing for the contract term, mandate HACCP compliance and food safety certifications, and specify delivery windows to individual school sites or central warehouses. Set-asides and M/WBE preferences appear in some solicitations but are not universal across the code's activity.
