UNSPSC 50426001: Dried dock sorrel

The variety of sorrel known as dock sorrel that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426001 Dried dock sorrel is a Commodity code for institutional procurement of dried legumes and related staple foods for state and local public dining, food service, and correctional facilities. The recent opportunities under this code diverge sharply from the code's nominal scope — the posted solicitations name kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, red beans, and mixed cafeteria food products rather than dock sorrel specifically. State and local governments buying under this code are purchasing bulk dried legumes and related institutional food items for correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and state agency institutional dining in large quantities, delivered on palletized or bulk shipment terms with USDA grading and food-safety compliance requirements. The issuing bodies are state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices (Georgia Statewide Purchasing, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division), state agency food-service procurement (State of Illinois), and municipal governments (City of Edinburg, Texas). Procurement notice types include RFQs, IFBs, and RFPs, with response formats ranging from electronic PDF submission to online procurement portals.

The geographic spread spans Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois based on the most recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (bids due June 19, 2026) with a combined 10% Oregon-preference evaluation factor and FOB delivery to Salem within 45 days; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas with response extended to May 4, 2026 and covering approximately 382 line items with USDA grade certificates required; and the City of Edinburg's August 2026 RFP for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supplies to serve approximately 400 children daily with a local-vendor preference within 5% of lowest bid and daily deliveries required before noon. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an October 2026 RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026 with all-inclusive delivery pricing and no separate freight reimbursement.
