UNSPSC 50465816: Canned or jarred wakame

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

UNSPSC 50465816 Canned or jarred wakame is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement; the source contains no solicitations specifically requesting wakame or seaweed products. The recent opportunities tagged under or near this code span broader food-procurement categories—weekly institutional food orders, school nutrition groceries, state hospital and corrections facility food supply, and fresh produce—but do not identify wakame or seaweed as line items or scope elements. State and local buying under this Commodity appears limited to specialized or niche procurement that the indexed opportunities do not currently surface.

The geographic jurisdictions active in food procurement more broadly include school districts in Georgia (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Burke County, Ben Hill County, Savannah-Chatham County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Oregon (Department of Corrections); state-level buying entities in Illinois (Veterans Home), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission), Georgia (state agency), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, due February 9, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items, $4.5 million potential value over three years, responses due March 19, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB for Master Grocery K-12 (sealed bids due April 27, 2026, covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens). No recent state or local solicitations in the source identify wakame, nori, or other seaweed products as specified items, suggesting this Commodity code does not currently reflect active demand in the jurisdictions tracked.
