UNSPSC 50416004: Organic wood sorrel

The variety of organic sorrel known as organic wood sorrel

UNSPSC 50416004 Organic wood sorrel, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's literal scope; the single relevant opportunity sources fresh produce broadly rather than the specialty leaf category this code nominates.

The recent solicitations tagged with this code overwhelmingly cover institutional school nutrition procurement—fresh produce supply to school districts' lunch and breakfast programs, child nutrition services, and USDA-funded initiatives such as the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Early County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Bulloch County School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System) and state departments of education procurement offices (State of Georgia), with one cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts). These buyers solicit produce through RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs with response dates typically in late March through June 2026. The solicitations uniformly emphasize fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and prepared produce in bulk case quantities—apples, bananas, berries, bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, tomatoes, and citrus—delivered weekly or twice weekly to school sites. No solicitation explicitly requires organic produce or specialty leafy greens such as sorrel; one Bulloch County initiative emphasizes locally grown items within 200 miles, but does not specify organic certification or sorrel products.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (State of Georgia, Bulloch County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County cooperative), Texas (Northside Independent School District in Bexar County, Austin Independent School District in Travis County, McAllen Independent School District), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (RFP, due June 8, 2026) covering approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food products for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, and Douglas County School System's SN 26-004 (RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative, due March 4, 2026) sourcing approximately 72 produce line items for 30 school districts across two Georgia geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Neither opportunity signals demand specific to organic sorrel; the code appears to reflect a broad administrative tagging of institutional produce procurement rather than targeting this specialty commodity.
