UNSPSC 50436000: Dried organic sorrels

The type of organic vegetable known as organic sorrels that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436000 Dried organic sorrels is a Class code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and what is actually being purchased: the solicitations are for dried pinto and red beans (Oregon Department of Corrections and Illinois state procurement), fresh produce (Georgia, Muscogee County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), eggs, general grocery items for school cafeterias and correctional facilities, and cafeteria food products (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, and City of Edinburg). None of these procurements involve dried organic sorrels specifically. The code shows no relevant recent activity.

Procurement activity under related dried-bean and fresh-produce classifications appears concentrated in state education agencies and school districts (Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Texas), state correctional departments (Oregon, Texas, Illinois), and municipal child-nutrition programs (City of Edinburg). School districts dominate the recent opportunities, with solicitations for master grocery contracts, fresh produce, and complete food-service supply ranging from $1.1 million to $9 million annually. The geographic spread includes Texas (TDCJ, City of Edinburg, Fairfax County), Georgia (multiple school systems), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). Buyers use RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs with response deadlines typically 30 to 60 days from posting. Evaluation criteria consistently weight price competitiveness, vendor qualifications and experience, product quality and compliance with USDA or state nutritional standards, and delivery capability. Vendors face insurance requirements ($1 million to $2 million commercial general liability typical), Buy American Act compliance, debarment certification, and firm fixed pricing for multi-year terms with occasional renewal options.
