UNSPSC 50426001: Dried dock sorrel

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

UNSPSC 50426001 Dried dock sorrel (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The 15 state and local opportunities posted since January 2026 span food procurement across child nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and school districts, but they target broad grocery categories — fresh produce, dried beans, cafeteria staples, proteins, dairy, and grains — rather than the specific dried-herb category the code describes. Two opportunities do name dried beans explicitly (Oregon Department of Corrections procurements for dried pinto and red beans, and dried pinto beans alone), and these represent the closest match to the Commodity tier; the remaining solicitations cover general food supply, fresh produce, and meal-program provisioning with no mention of dock sorrel or dried botanical ingredients. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois, Georgia), and municipal entities (City of Edinburg, Texas), reflecting the typical mix of K-12 nutrition programs and corrections food service.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and the broader Southeast, with scattered solicitations in Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri. The Oregon Department of Corrections' dual pinto-bean ITBs (March 6, 2026, response due March 20, 2026; June 5, 2026, response due June 19, 2026) are the most directly relevant opportunities; both call for triple-cleaned beans meeting U.S. No. 2 standards, FOB delivery to Salem, and pricing on a per-pound basis. The Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery solicitation (March 31, 2026, response due April 29, 2026) and the Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (April 6, 2026, response due April 27, 2026) represent the largest school-district food-supply contracts, each encompassing hundreds of line items across multiple categories and implying multi-million-dollar annual values. The code itself does not generate procurement demand specifically for dried dock sorrel; vendors should treat this Commodity code as inactive for targeted pursuit and monitor the broader dried-ingredient and specialty-food categories if expanding into state and local food-supply channels.
