UNSPSC 50416000: Organic sorrels

The type of organic vegetable known as organic sorrels

UNSPSC 50416000 Organic sorrels is a Class code that covers fresh produce procurement, though recent state and local opportunities show the code in practice spanning broader fresh-food sourcing including produce, prepared food services, and institutional food-supply contracts. State and local governments buying under this code procure produce for school lunch programs, regional parks and recreation facilities, and healthcare systems. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, county park commissions, state procurement agencies, and healthcare coalitions. The scope encompasses fresh fruits and vegetables delivered to multiple venues, compliance with food-safety and USDA regulations, and adherence to quality standards and delivery timelines specified in contract documents. Institutional buyers typically require vendors to meet domestic-sourcing preferences, whole-grain and low-sodium specifications, and price-stability provisions tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index benchmarks.
