UNSPSC 50416001: Organic dock sorrel

The variety of organic sorrel known as organic dock sorrel

UNSPSC 50416001 Organic dock sorrel is a Commodity code that does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code overwhelmingly solicit fresh produce for school nutrition programs—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, berries, citrus, potatoes, eggs, and specialty items—with no documentation of purchases for organic dock sorrel specifically. School districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri have posted RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for bulk fresh-produce supply contracts supporting National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, but none reference dock sorrel or specialty leafy greens beyond standard salad mixes and prepared lettuce. The code appears to be a classification error; organic dock sorrel does not figure in the scope of work actually being procured under this taxonomy entry.

State and local purchasing offices in Georgia dominate the recent activity, with Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004 for a 30-district GEC cooperative), Bulloch County Schools (IFP for locally-grown produce within 200 miles), Liberty County Schools (IFB for produce and food products), Glynn County Schools (IFB 27-02 for fresh produce), and Muscogee County Schools (ITB 26-017 for produce items) all posting between February and April 2026. Texas school districts—Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (RFP 2026-048, response due May 7, 2026), McAllen Independent School District (RFP 2026-1029, response due March 6, 2026), and Austin Independent School District (RFP 26RFP034, response due March 11, 2026)—and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida (RFP 26039RFPDST for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program delivery, estimated annual budget $600,000) account for additional volume. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with firm pricing for 12 months and renewal options up to four additional one-year terms. Given the mismatch between the code definition and actual procurement content, this category warrants reclassification or verification before pursuit.
