UNSPSC 50436001: Dried organic dock sorrel

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

UNSPSC 50436001 Dried organic dock sorrel is a Commodity code that nominally designates specialized organic produce, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little activity actually aligned with that scope. The six opportunities in the block span dried beans (pinto, red, black, and kidney), weekly food orders, and broader cafeteria and food-program supplies for institutional and correctional settings. Only one solicitation explicitly names the code's nominal product (dried beans); the others appear to be mis-tagged or represent institutional food procurement broadly. State and local buyers under this code are primarily correctional departments, state purchasing divisions, cities operating child and adult care food programs, and state education or social-service agencies. The issuing bodies are geographically scattered and include the Georgia Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Texas (via the Comptroller's office on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), City of Edinburg, Texas, and the State of Illinois. No repeat issuer appears more than once in the recent block.

Recent opportunities show highest posting activity in the last four months across Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (triple-cleaned, U.S. No. 2 or better grade, palletized, FOB destination Salem, bids due June 19, 2026); Georgia Correctional Industries issuing an RFQ for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags with delivery included in bid pricing, electronic submission required, and a due date of October 9, 2026; and the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division issuing an IFB (304T26300CF) on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (proteins, dairy, grains, vegetables, and staples) with a response due date of May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum from April 21), firm pricing FOB destination to six TDCJ distribution centers, and a contract term through August 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children ages 1–18, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and a response deadline of August 4, 2026. A local-vendor or Oregon-vendor preference applies to several opportunities; no small-business set-asides are named.
