UNSPSC 50426004: Dried wood sorrel

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

UNSPSC 50426004 Dried wood sorrel (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—dried wood sorrel as a botanical ingredient—does not match the actual work being solicited under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover mainstream food service procurement: child nutrition meal programs, institutional cafeteria food products, fresh produce, dried beans, and grocery items for school districts and corrections departments across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. These opportunities involve mass-market proteins, dairy, grains, vegetables, fruits, and prepared entrees—not specialty botanical products. The misalignment between the code's stated commodity and the solicitations using it indicates either data-entry error in the state and local procurement systems or inappropriate code assignment by issuing bodies.

Buyers pursuing this code should verify the actual UNSPSC classification of their target products before bidding. The recent opportunities signal strong demand for food service distribution, institutional grocery supply, and school nutrition procurement across multiple states and issuing bodies—school districts, state departments of corrections, and state purchasing offices—but these fall under broader food commodity codes rather than dried wood sorrel specifically. Vendors with experience in K–12 school nutrition, institutional food service, and public-sector grocery supply should track fresh produce (Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System), dried staple items (Oregon Department of Corrections), and main-line food distribution (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District) as more accurately coded opportunities. The code itself does not represent an actionable procurement category in the current state and local marketplace.
