UNSPSC 50465809: Canned or jarred nori

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

UNSPSC 50465809 Canned or jarred nori, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code primarily solicit broad consumables and food-service purchases — notably by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state supported living centers, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners for senior services, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the Illinois and Georgia state governments — but these solicitations request dozens to hundreds of line items spanning proteins, frozen vegetables, dairy, condiments, canned goods, and food-service supplies rather than nori specifically. The single opportunity that matches the code name precisely (the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomatoes procurement in June 2026) was mistagged; the actual opportunities under this code code cover institutional food service broadly, not seaweed products.

The issuing-body mix spans state health and human services agencies, state corrections departments, school nutrition programs across multiple Georgia school districts, county purchasing offices, and state procurement divisions in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Oregon. Repeat buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (three separate solicitations for state supported living centers and state hospitals between May and October 2026) and Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools). Recent opportunities show response dates clustered in May through October 2026, with the most recent IFB from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026) and Gwinnett County's informal written quote for food items (due October 19, 2026). Activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional activity in Illinois. The code appears to be a catch-all tag for state and local food-service procurement rather than a reliable identifier for nori or similar specialty proteins; business development professionals should verify actual scope against raw solicitation documents before investing pursuit effort.
