UNSPSC 50465805: Canned or jarred hijiki

The variety of sea vegetables known as hijiki that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50465805 Canned or jarred hijiki, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of specialty food items for institutional food service, though recent opportunities tagged under this code show minimal direct relevance to hijiki specifically. The code appears primarily in school district, state agency, and institutional purchasing for bulk food supplies where contract vehicles focus on broader grocery and food-service categories rather than individual specialty seafood products. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under related food-commodity codes include school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (State of Illinois for the Illinois Veterans Home, State of Georgia, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts across Georgia). These jurisdictions issue regular, recurring food-service contracts on annual or multi-year cycles.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with Georgia school districts representing the highest recent volume of food-procurement solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products servicing the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016089 (posted February 20, 2026, due March 9, 2026) for tomato paste procurement of approximately 1,904 cases; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 supplying 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services electronic bid solicitation CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027 (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026) for over 900 grocery line items serving nearly 19,000 students. None of the recent opportunities explicitly name hijiki or specialty marine algae products; the code's recent activity reflects general canned and jarred food procurement dominated by mainstream commodity categories, produce, proteins, and prepared foods rather than niche specialty imports.
