UNSPSC 50406102: Garden sorrel

The variety of sorrel known as garden sorrel

UNSPSC 50406102 Garden sorrel, Commodity tier, sees minimal targeted state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly requesting garden sorrel; instead, the code appears to have been tagged to procurement notices for broad produce categories — fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, grocery products for child nutrition programs, and school nutrition fresh produce contracts — where sorrel, if procured at all, would represent a single line item among dozens. State and local buyers are soliciting fresh produce through school districts, regional child nutrition programs, and correctional facilities, but the opportunities focus on staple vegetables and fruits (carrots, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, apples, bananas, broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes) rather than specialty greens like sorrel. The code shows negligible recent deal flow in the procurement offices tracked.

School districts and school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut are the primary institutional buyers of fresh produce; Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Head Start agencies, and senior services programs also participate. Representative recent solicitations include Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables (proposal deadline June 22, 2026), Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed-bid procurement for 40 fresh produce line items (bids due June 16, 2026), and Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 for fresh produce to supply 16 school locations (bids due April 14, 2026). These solicitations emphasize commodity vegetables, apples, berries, and leafy greens on a weekly or monthly delivery schedule; none names sorrel or signal demand for specialty culinary greens as a category. Pursuing vendors should verify whether sorrel appears in specific district specifications before investing in RFP response preparation.
